When Jesus came to earth, He knew in advance that He would be pierced and hung on the cross for our sin and sickness. He knew He would have to subject Himself to that level of pain. When the verse says that they will mourn for Him (Zechariah 12:10), it’s only because they didn’t know what was about to happen. They couldn’t yet see that this death was a necessary part of people getting healing, salvation, and freedom. In the Old Testament, when a sickness was breaking out, sick people had to look at a specific snake on a pole to receive healing; in the same way, Jesus became the snake that we must look at to receive the salvation that we need. Everything around you will try to pull your attention, but you must look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith!
Reflection
- What are you looking to for healing?
- Where does your help come from?
- Are you asking other people to fulfill what only God can do?

About this Plan
Over the next twenty-five days, let’s celebrate the entrance of Jesus and the salvation He purchased. Like Mary did so many years ago, let’s make room for Jesus in our lives by making daily space and time for His Word. We encourage you to read the verse each day and reflect on Jesus’ character and nature. You’ll find that the more you study the Word of God, the more your life will begin to look like Jesus! This devotional will reflect on the humble and triumphant entrance of our Prince of Peace, Savior, Lord, and King.
