 10For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.
 11For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in *you*, but what excusing of yourselves, but what indignation, but what fear, but what ardent desire, but what zeal, but what vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter. (2 Cor. 7:9‑11)
• It was in Jerusalem that our Lord was rejected and condemned to be crucified (He suffered without the gate); it was in Jerusalem the gospel was first preached, and the first work of grace commenced; and now we find that it is in Jerusalem Jehovah will first commence the work of grace when he returns to Zion. Nothing could more magnify His grace and unchanging love. (“Zechariah 12” by E. Dennett)
• “They shall look upon Me* whom they have pierced.” This is ever the divine order; first, conviction of sin, and then, the presentation of Christ. (“Zechariah 12” by E. Dennett)
• What a moment this will be for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem when, as they see their Messiah come in glory for their deliverance, the conviction is begotten in their hearts that it is Jesus whom they had nailed to the bitter tree. (“Zechariah 12” by E. Dennett)
• He comes for their deliverance, and, when their eyes are opened, they behold their Deliverer, and recognize that He is Jesus of Nazareth! Then for the first time they will understand by the very magnitude of the grace, the turpitude of their sin, and, transfixed with the arrows of conviction, will be bowed in the dust before their God in true penitence and sorrow for their guilt. (“Zechariah 12” by E. Dennett)
• “They shall mourn for Him, as one mourneth for his only son.” It is a comparison to illustrate the intensity of their grief, even as Amos also speaks (Amos 8:10). (“Zechariah 12” by E. Dennett)
