2 Chronicles 22-24

When king Joash turned against God's Law God gave Zechariah the priest a message for all of Judah. He called out the Judah would abandon the practices of the idol worship and return to following God's Law. But the king convinced the people to stone Zechariah in the temple court. As the prophet/priest was knocked down and dying he called out with one loud call,"May the LORD see what you are doing and punish you!" As I read that my mind jumped ahead in the history of Israel to another prophet who charged the leaders of Israel with disobedience; Stephen the Christian servant. His last words were very different for those leaders,"Lord! Do not remember this sin against them!" What a difference Jesus made in the life of a believer.
