HUMBLE KING
Zechariah points toward a coming king. While the first part of this chapter concerns God’s judgment on Judah’s enemies, it goes on to declare that true peace ultimately comes through this coming King, the Messiah. Zechariah announced His imminent arrival, admonishing Zion, or Jerusalem, to rejoice and shout. According to verse 9, this king proves to be righteous. Furthermore, His arrival brings salvation. Entering the final week of Jesus’s earthly ministry, He asked His disciples to run an errand. More than anyone else, Jesus knew who He was. He knew—in fact He inspired—the prophecy in Zechariah. So, in what many now call the Triumphal Entry, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a humble colt, the foal of a donkey—the symbol of a king arriving in peace. The whole city, Matthew records, wondered about the identity of this man. However, Jesus was not confused. As he rode in on the donkey, He claimed—in visible terms—to be the Messiah that this prophecy foretold.
