Outline and Lesson Goal

Principles and Applications

I. The Lord’s Wrath Appeased (Zechariah 6:1-8)

Principle: God will Judge those Who Oppose Him and Oppress His People.
Application: How comforting is it to know that the Lord will deal with your enemies and His enemies in due course?
Scripture Reference

⁶For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
⁷and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,
⁸dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
⁹These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,
2 Thessalonians 1:6-9 (NASB)

II. The Coronation of the Branch (Zechariah 6:9-15)

Principle: Jesus Christ is Our Great King and High Priest.
Application: What confidence do you have in life knowing that our Lord Jesus Christ is our Great King and High Priest?
Scripture Reference

¹⁴Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
¹⁵For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.
¹⁶Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:14-16 (NASB)
