Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you, righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
In John's account of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on what has become known as "Palm Sunday," John quotes this verse from Zechariah to demonstrate that Jesus was fulfilling this prophecy of the long awaited Messiah (John 12:14-15). It strikes me that Jesus entered Jerusalem that day in the same way he entered our world ... humbly. What a thought! The King of kings was willing to humble himself for you and me! Now that's something to rejoice in!
Thanks for stopping by . . .
