TEXT: Zechariah 9:9-10

Second, Jesus is coming to reign. Kenneth Barker notes that the phrase translated, “your king is coming to you” can also be translated, “your king is coming for you,” that is, “for your benefit.” Verse 9 predicted the first coming of Jesus so that we could be saved from sin and Hell. Verse 10 predicts His second coming to establish a dominion of peace over all the earth. Zechariah writes that the Messiah will cut off instruments of warfare, like chariots, warhorses, and bows from His Kingdom. There will be no need for such weaponry in Jesus’s great kingdom of peace. Zechariah then quotes from Psalm 72:8 to say that the Messiah will reign “from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.” This is poetic language showing that Jesus will have worldwide dominion. Bob Shirock said, “This is a picture of the future Messiah who would come to reconcile the world to God. Matthew actually quotes from Zechariah as he writes about Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. This is a future picture of the first coming of the Messiah as the Lamb of God who comes to take away the sins of the world. In His first advent, the Messiah comes on a donkey (a sign of peace) to secure the salvation of mankind. Jesus said, “I came to seek and save that which was lost.” In His second advent, He will come riding upon a white horse (a sign of conquest) to establish His earthly kingdom. So he came the first time to die for our salvation, but the next time He will come to reign. In this passage we are given a glimpse into both His first and second advent. For the last two thousand years, we have the advantage of living in the light of Jesus’ first advent. We have the historical record of His life, death and resurrection. We understand from scripture that Jesus is the only way to God the Father. We live in the reality of His first coming and the truth that we can be saved by the person and work of Christ. We also live in the light of the promise of His second advent. This is hope that we hold onto to know that Jesus will one day return to set up His kingdom upon this earth.” Zechariah predicts that the Messiah will come in to set up a worldwide Kingdom. Those who accepted the salvation brought by Jesus Christ at His first coming will meet their Saviour with joy at His second coming. Those who rejected the salvation will meet their Judge to their doom at His second coming. Christians can have hope knowing that their Saviour is coming to reign.
