The King Who Came on a Donkey

The King Who Came on a Donkey - Zechariah paints one of the clearest portraits of the Messiah in the Old Testament—a King who comes not on a warhorse, but on a donkey. A Shepherd rejected for thirty pieces of silver. A Savior pierced for our sins. And a Lord who will one day reign over all the earth. Jesus’ triumphal entry, betrayal, crucifixion, and future return are all foreshadowed in these chapters. His first coming brought salvation; His second coming will bring final victory. In a world of uncertainty, this prophecy calls us to recognize Jesus as King, trust Him in rejection, and live with hope-filled anticipation of His return.
