Zechariah 9:9 (NIV)
9 Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Father
your ancient promise became a glorious event on the streets of Jerusalem when Jesus
rode in triumph and humility on a donkey. It was an unprecedented opportunity, unequalled
in Jewish history, with unimagined consequences. Before them was their long awaited
King and Savior. It was a time to rejoice, to dance, to celebrate with
overflowing joy. And yet tragically it turned into the sorrow of the ages. The
King rejected, the Savior denied, the day of salvation thwarted. How could such
a day of triumph turn into such soul numbing grief?
But
Father we know that through the failure and rejection of the human race you
still achieve your sovereign purpose of salvation for all who will believe. Thus
we have the greatest event in history, the resurrection of your Son Jesus the
Messiah. In those fateful days all of the events were used in your divine will to
fulfill your plan motivated by your great and eternal love.
Yes
Father, we will rejoice because our King has come and he is coming again!
Amen
