John 12:14-15 (NKJV) 14 Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
The donkey that Jesus rode on was there for such a time as “that day”. It was “the donkey” that was predicted to be there for Jesus to ride on. It was there, ready and waiting, for our King.
According to the reference notes in my study Bible, from the time when it was prophesied in the the Old Testament book of Zechariah, until it came to pass in the New Testament book of John, approximately 400 years had passed.
Zechariah 9:9 (NKJV) 9 “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.
It was Jesus Christ walking out His Triumphal Entry. Praise be to God. Hallelujah!
Who would have thought that a KING, the Savior of the world, would come riding on a donkey’s colt? Yet, He did!
Little did they know this same man, our KING, a week later would rise from the dead, conquering both death and hell, offering salvation to the world. Praise You, Lord!
The precision in God’s timing, and the organizing and planning that it took for this to all take place, on the day that it needed to happen, is incredibly amazing!
Knowing this, what can man do that would cause us to ever doubt Him when it comes to His provision and timing in our individual lives?
What could possibly stop Him from doing what He wants to do for us? Only our own unbelief.
Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Believe and we shall witness His greater works and marvel at them.
John 5:20 (NKJV) 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
