Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and victorious,
lowly and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

Zechariah 9:9

Christian life is full of apparent contradictions. Dead but alive, mortal yet eternal. Jesus’ humility is one of those that is worth examining. He was a king, but did not Lord over his people. He was God but didn’t cling to his divinity (Philippians 2:6).

We follow his example in humility and gratitude, looking at what has been given to us as a gift, not something we can claim credit for or brag about. Instead, in a seeming contradiction, we celebrate humility and praise those who are not seeking recognition!
