Answered in 1 source
Christians should respond with genuine mourning for their sins and a heartfelt desire to turn to God in prayer and supplication.
The appropriate Christian response to the message of Christ's sacrifice is a deep, heartfelt mourning for our sins and a commitment to coming before God in prayer. The call in Zechariah 12:10 encourages believers to look upon the Saviour they have pierced and to mourn for Him, gripping the reality that our sins necessitated His suffering. This response goes beyond superficial acknowledgment; it involves a heartfelt understanding of our need for God's grace. Such mourning fosters a desire for intimacy with God, where we can earnestly seek His face, lament our failings, and endeavor to follow His ways. Ultimately, this reflects a truly transformed life that strives to honor the sacrifice of our Saviour.
