Why did Jesus ride in on a Donkey?

from Bite-Size Bible Study · host Awakening Media

Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem to fulfill the prophecy found in Zechariah 9:9, which foretold that the Messiah would come humbly, riding on a donkey. The act of riding a donkey, instead of a war horse, symbolized peace rather than conquest. In ancient times, a king riding a donkey was seen as a ruler bringing peace, whereas a war horse was associated with battle and victory through force. By choosing a donkey, Jesus signified that He was the peaceful King, ushering in a time of spiritual peace for His people rather than a political revolution. Imagine how life would change if we all embraced the peace that Jesus offers, choosing humility over the world’s expectations of power!
