Zechariah 9:9

Luke 19:28-40

The Old Testament concludes with several prophecies of hope.  One of these is found in Zechariah 9:9 and is given 400 years before Jesus was born. “Rejoice, O people of Zion!

Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem!  Look, your king is coming to you.  He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey - riding on a donkey’s colt.”

The people knew this prophecy.  So centuries later, when Jesus came riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, the Sunday of Holy Week, the people began to worship him.  Their coming King was here!

Spend a few minutes in prayer, welcoming Jesus as your King, and inviting Him into your holy week.
