"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey."
Zechariah 9:9 (NKJ)
What a great prophecy verse! It's poetic, joyful, and it's such a wonderful description of the Lord's coming to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.
It was the arrival of the King of Israel, the Prince of Peace, the One who was prophesied of as the deliverer of His people. Yet in this first coming, He arrived on a donkey--which isn't exactly a regal or powerful animal--and He didn't have kingly robes or a following of warriors. But what He did have that Palm Sunday, as this verse in Zechariah proclaims, was an air of pure humbleness, the ability to reign perfectly as King, and what He came to give to the whole world was life (and soul) saving salvation!
Which certainly makes a powerful and joyous appearance; amen?
Happy Palm Sunday!
