Zechariah’s prophecy of Jesus in chapter 9 and
Verse 9 is most interesting: Rejoice
greatly…behold, your king is coming to you;
righteous and having salvation is he, humble and
mounted on a donkey…” (ESV)
First, we must note from this that Jesus is king!
He is above all else. He took part in the creation of
everything. He is not only a king, He is THE king.
He is all powerful. And He can become our personal
king.
Next, we must notice that Jesus is humble and
righteous! While upon the earth, He never sinned
and was always going about serving others. He was
concerned about all people and always put them
above Himself. Also, He obeyed the Father’s will
perfectly.
Finally, we must see that Jesus brings salvation!
It could come no other way. He had to be sacrificed
for us to have the opportunity of redemption.
If I was to glean one main thing from this passage,
it would be this: The thing about King Jesus is that
He is perfect and He can make us perfectly fit for
heaven!
