Independence is good; repentance is better. Happy 4th-of-July to our listeners here in the US; it's always good to remember the birth of our nation and the role that Providence played in it. Today as Pastor Jim concludes his sermon on Zechariah 12, we see another nation on an even more momentous day in the future: I'm talking about the day that Israel's eyes are opened, and they recognize their messiah. It will be a day of tears, not fireworks - but what a glorious day it will be.
