“These are joined together in Zechariah 12:10, a pouring out of the Spirit, and looking upon Him whom we have pierced, and mourning. The men of the world wonder what ails Christians to weep and mourn; but it is as comfortable to us to weep as to them to rejoice; it is sometimes as comfortable to us to mourn, as to them to laugh. We weep, because we cannot weep; and we mourn, because mourning is far from us. I’ll tell you news, sirs, it is a heartsome piece of enjoyment when it is attended, that every piece of wrong our Master gets lies nearer our hearts than all the wrongs that lie upon ourselves.” James Renwick.
