10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn (Zechariah 12:10).
In this, another messianic prophecy, Christ is pierced (remember he was pierced by the Roman solider) on our behalf. As a result, grace is poured out on us all. Zechariah looked hundreds of years into the future to the time that Christ’s work on the cross would result in the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is poured out on all that will call upon the Name of the Lord. The spirit of grace is the good news of the Gospel.
