On the day we call Palm Sunday the Lord Jesus presented Himself to Israel as their King when He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Had He been riding a spirited horse, He would have looked more kingly. But Zechariah (9:9) had prophesied He would come in the humble way that He did.
Chapter 9:9
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
lowly and riding on a donkey.
Why? Kings of the East rode donkeys when on errands of peace. The horse was used as a charger in war.
