In Zechariah 1, God brings a message through Zechariah calling for His people to repent and turn from sin to God. God cares for His people and He doesn't want to see us suffer the consequences of sin. He wants us to prosper in His will and His plan for our lives for the glory of His eternal Kingdom. He wants us to know Him and experience Him while we are on earth. He wants us to enjoy a sincere and personal relationship with Him. Jesus is interceded for each of us at the throne of God. He doesn't want to lose a soul and wants each of us to choose life with Him for eternity AND experience His glory in our lives while we "wait" for eternity to come. Jesus is returning and if we know Him as our Lord and Savior, it'll just keep getting better - now and for all eternity.
