“They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’” Zechariah 13:9b (NASB)
Our passage today is another which is about Jesus Christ and
his work as our sacrifice. It speaks first of how a remnant of the people of
Israel will see and receive Jesus when He comes again. We have many promises in
the Bible about the way God answers prayer. Today's verse has the words, “They
will call on my name and I will answer them.” This is God's promise through His
prophet Zechariah that He will answer our prayers and He will say, “They are my
people.” Not all will receive the
Lord at his return to Earth and while
this promise was given specifically to God's people Israel, who were His people
in those days, He has never changed this promise toward those who have believed
– we are His people now because we are part of His family. The promise we can
claim today is that when anyone of us calls on God in Jesus' name, He
recognizes us as His own and He will respond. We can count on it – He will
respond to our prayer today friends, because we are His people and He is our
Lord and God.
