TEXT: Zechariah 9:9-10

Ed Rea said, “The Old Testament prophets couldn’t see the time period between these two comings, as both Ephesians 3:1–6 and Colossians 1:26–27 tells us that the church age, or the age of the Gentiles, was a mystery hidden from them. Verse 9 was fulfilled with startling precision when Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem. This is just one of more than 300 prophecies concerning the Messiah that was perfectly fulfilled. So we have absolute faith that the promise of His second coming will be perfectly fulfilled as well. There are 4 characteristics listed here that shouted to the reader some of the attributes the Messiah would have: He would be a King, just, bringing salvation, and humble. The animal the King would enter the city on would be unlike normal warrior kings, who purposefully rode the largest, most powerful steeds they could find. And Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the King did enter Jerusalem on a donkey, symbolizing that He came in peace. His rule is one of peace.” Zechariah says that Jesus is also the king of justice. It seems like every week there is a new story coming about a miscarriage of justice in our world, whether it is due to corrupt politicians, an unwarranted police killing, or an unjust court ruling. During the reign of Jesus, there will be none of that. We can have hope in Jesus because His reign will be one of justice. Jesus is also the King of salvation. Zechariah was mostly writing about how the Messiah would bring national salvation to Israel by delivering them from their enemies. But the Messiah also came the first time to bring spiritual salvation to all who would believe in Him. However, He will come the second time to judge the world and those who did not believe in Him will be cast into hell. If you have trusted in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, then you can have hope at the thought of His second coming because He is the King of salvation. The last trait that Zechariah gives regarding King Jesus is His humility. Humility is a trait we all admire, but it definitely could not be applied to our current leaders in . But Jesus willingly took on the role of a servant and a sacrifice so that we could be saved from our sins. We can hope in the second coming of Jesus, trusting in His authority, His justice, His salvation, and His humility.
