Triumphant, yet, humble

Rejoice, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey— riding on a donkey’s colt. ~ Zechariah 9:9 (NLT)

That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage. ~ Matthew 20:28 (MSG)

KEY IDEA:

The Lord Jesus is our powerful yet humble Savior.

PRAYER:

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the sacrifice that rescues us from the forces of evil. That is so mind-boggling -- that you could accomplish all that without the use of force or coersion. I admit that I too often admire and try to imitate the powerful people of the world -- those who seek to get what they understand to be good results through the use of power and control. Guide me deeper into your military strategy so that I can admire and imitate you. Amen.
