Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zechariah 9:9 As Jesus enters Jerusalem during this week of the Passover, He is hailed as King, Angering the…
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.” John 10:29-30 The Jews ask Jesus to tell them plainly who he is. They probably wanted a sign. Jesus says that he told them but they…
