We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to GodSample

Day 344 of 365

In Zechariah 9, we see a powerful prophecy of a humble king riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, foreshadowing Jesus’ entry into the city centuries later. This humble image is contrasted with the triumphant vision of Christ in Revelation 1, where Jesus is revealed as the Alpha and Omega, the One who holds authority over all creation. Through these passages, we’re reminded that Jesus is both the humble servant and the reigning King—a Savior who came to us in gentleness but who also reigns in glory and power.

The Holy Spirit invites us to embrace both aspects of Jesus’ character: His humility that reaches out to the broken and His majesty that commands reverence. As we reflect on these qualities, the Spirit transforms us to live with a blend of humility and confidence, enabling us to walk as representatives of His kingdom. This vision of Christ calls us to bring His peace into a world fraught with division, trusting in His power to restore and make all things new.

Today, ask the Holy Spirit to deepen your understanding of Jesus’ kingship. Let His character shape your own, inspiring you to live with both humility and boldness. Embrace the call to be a peacemaker and a beacon of His justice and love, knowing that the King of kings reigns within you.
