Zechariah 9:9
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
The prophet revealed a paradox: a king who comes in humility rather than military might.
This Messianic prophecy foresaw Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where He came righteous and bringing salvation, yet mounted on a donkey instead of a warhorse. This image overturns human expectations of power—God's king conquers through humility and servanthood rather than force. His first coming established peace; His second will bring victory.
Apply This Today
Follow Christ's example today by leading through humble service rather than demanding recognition or asserting power over others.
Prayer
Righteous King, thank You for coming gently and humbly to save us. Teach us the power of humility and servant leadership. Amen.
