What does the Bible say about looking upon the one we have pierced?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that only those who have received grace can truly understand the significance of looking upon the one they have pierced, referring to Jesus Christ.

In Zechariah 12:10, it is stated that the inhabitants of Jerusalem will look upon Him whom they have pierced, revealing a deep spiritual truth for the elect. This piercing symbolizes the impact of sin and how Christ bore the penalty for His people's transgressions. It is through the Spirit of grace that the church can realize it was their sins that brought Christ to the cross. This understanding is not accessible to everyone; rather, it requires divine revelation and a heart transformed by God's mercy.
