This took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would come true. It says,“ Say to the city of Zion,‘ See, your king comes to you. He is gentle and riding on a donkey. He is riding on a donkey’s colt.’ ”( Zechariah 9:9)The disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.They brought the donkey and the colt. They placed their coats on them for Jesus to sit on.

“ A new day is coming,” announces the Lord.“ At that time I will raise up for David’s royal line a godly Branch. He will be a King who will rule wisely. He will do what is fair and right in the land.In his days Judah will be saved. Israel will live in safety. And the Branch will be called The Lord Who Makes Us Right With Himself.

“‘ People of Zion, shout and be glad! I am coming to live among you,’ announces the Lord.

So they took branches from palm trees and went out to meet him. They shouted,“ Hosanna!”“ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:25, 26)“ Blessed is the king of Israel!”Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it. This is just as it is written in Scripture. It says,“ City of Zion, do not be afraid. See, your king is coming. He is sitting on a donkey’s colt.”( Zechariah 9:9)At first, Jesus’ disciples did not understand all this. They realized it only after he had received glory. Then they realized that these things had been written about him. They realized that these things had been done to him.

A child will be born to us. A son will be given to us. He will rule over us. And he will be called Wonderful Adviser and Mighty God. He will also be called Father Who Lives Forever and Prince Who Brings Peace.There will be no limit to how great his authority is. The peace he brings will never end. He will rule on David’s throne and over his kingdom. He will make the kingdom strong and secure. His rule will be based on what is fair and right. It will last forever. The Lord’ s great love will make sure that happens. He rules over all.

I am the one and only Lord. I am the only one who can save you.

Zion, you are bringing good news to your people. Go up on a high mountain and announce it. Jerusalem, you are bringing good news to them. Shout the message loudly. Shout it out loud. Don’t be afraid. Say to the towns of Judah,“ Your God is coming!”

I am the Lord your God. I am the Holy One of Israel. I am the one who saves you. I will give up Egypt to set you free. I will give up Cush and Seba for you.

The Lord has announced a message from one end of the earth to the other. He has said,“ Tell the people of Zion,‘ Look! Your Savior is coming! He is bringing his people back as his reward. He has won the battle over their enemies.’ ”

Become my servants and learn from me. I am gentle and free of pride. You will find rest for your souls.

Jesus came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives. There the whole crowd of disciples began to praise God with joy. In loud voices they praised him for all the miracles they had seen. They shouted,“ Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:26)“ May there be peace and glory in the highest heaven!”

He says to them,“ I have placed my king on my holy mountain of Zion.”

Your throne is the very throne of God. Your kingdom will last for ever and ever. You will rule by treating everyone fairly.You love what is right and hate what is evil. So your God has placed you above your companions. He has filled you with joy by pouring the sacred oil on your head.

People of Zion, give a loud shout! Sing for joy! The Holy One of Israel is among you. And he is great.”

My heart is full of beautiful words as I say my poem for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

Those in front and those in back shouted,“ Hosanna!”“ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:25, 26)“ Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”“ Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

Tell me what will happen. State your case. Talk it over together. Who spoke long ago about what would happen? Who said it a long time ago? I did. I am the Lord. I am the one and only God. I always do what is right. I am the one who saves. There is no God but me.

They brought the colt to Jesus. They threw their coats over it. Then he sat on it.

A king will come who will do what is right. His officials will govern fairly.Each official will be like a place to get out of the wind. He will be like a place to hide from storms. He’ll be like streams of water flowing in the desert. He’ll be like the shadow of a huge rock in a dry and thirsty land.

The heavens announce that what he does is right. All people everywhere see his glory.All who worship statues of gods or brag about them are put to shame. All you gods, worship the Lord!Zion hears about it and is filled with joy. Lord, the villages of Judah are glad because of how you judge.

I know he’s ready to save those who have respect for him. Then his glory can be seen in our land.God’s truth and faithful love join together. His peace and holiness kiss each other.His truth springs up from the earth. His holiness looks down from heaven.The Lord will certainly give what is good. Our land will produce its crops.

“ Go to the village ahead of you. As soon as you get there, you will find a donkey’s colt tied up. No one has ever ridden it. Untie it and bring it here.Someone may ask you,‘ Why are you untying it?’ If so, say,‘ The Lord needs it.’ ”Those who were sent ahead went and found the young donkey. It was there just as Jesus had told them.They were untying the colt when its owners came. The owners asked them,“ Why are you untying the colt?”They replied,“ The Lord needs it.”Then the disciples brought the colt to Jesus. They threw their coats on the young donkey and put Jesus on it.

Instead, they will serve me. And they will serve David their king. I will raise him up for them. I am the Lord their God.

Burst into songs of joy together, you broken- down buildings in Jerusalem. The Lord has comforted his people. He has set Jerusalem free.The Lord will use the power of his holy arm to save his people. All the nations will see him do it. Everyone from one end of the earth to the other will see it.

The Lord says to my lord,“ Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control.”The Lord will make your royal authority spread out from Zion to other lands. He says,“ Rule over your enemies who are all around you.”Your troops will be willing to fight for you on the day of battle. Your young men will be wrapped in holy majesty. They will come to you like the fresh dew that falls early in the morning.The Lord has made a promise. He will not change his mind. He has said,“ You are a priest forever, just like Melchizedek.”

She is going to have a son. You must give him the name Jesus. That’s because he will save his people from their sins.”

Nathanael replied,“ Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the king of Israel.”

The free gift of God’s grace makes us right with him. Christ Jesus paid the price to set us free.God gave Christ as a sacrifice to pay for sins through the spilling of his blood. So God forgives the sins of those who have faith. God did all this to prove that he does what is right. He is a God of mercy. So he did not punish for their sins the people who lived before Jesus lived.God did all this to prove in our own time that he does what is right. He also makes right with himself those who believe in Jesus.

But they shouted,“ Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”“ Should I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.“ We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.
