Light Reflection-Zechariah 9:9 Palm Sunday
JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Zechariah 9:9.
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
This prophecy came to light on Palm Sunday when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on those animals. If Jesus entered on a horse, He would have come as a military leader. But He came with humility and in peace. There was much rejoicing on that day when Jesus rode into Jerusalem. The crowds shouted “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven.”
Palm Sunday is a celebration to remind us how Jesus comes to us in humility with His offer of grace and peace.
This Light Reflection inspires us to welcome Jesus as our Righteous King and worthy Savior in the Year to Shine.
