Evening: Psalms 141, 143; Isaiah 24:14-23; Luke 19:28-40
Who or what will rule our hearts? Zechariah prophesies Israel’s king will come like this ... Jesus ensures there is no doubt that he is Israel’s king - he rides a donkey’s foal. What a different kind of king! They shout the Passover Psalm, 118: “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” Here on the night before Passover, Jesus himself becomes the Passover sacrifice - to deliver his people from slavery. This is no ordinary story, no ordinary king. The idea! ... that God comes to us so humbly; it is astounding. Let it sink in.
