Zechariah 9:9 - Palm Sunday prophesied

Happy new year! As we move past the Christmas season and head towards lent, here is a prophecy for Palm Sunday in Zechariah 9:9:

The coming of Zion’s king
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.

The King of Kings stickers on this page are from the Illustrated Faith advent kit - they're actually one card piece that I cut to fit my bible page. On the back of the card was this verse, and when I read it I had an image jump into my head of a small donkey looking out of the page at me.

I always think Palm Sunday is a perfect continuation of Christmas. Jesus had a humble beginning on Earth in the manger, and when He came as king He chose to use not just a regular donkey, but a young donkey. The humblest of the humble.

I found the image on Google and drew him in in watercolour/Inktense pencils, then used a black Micron pen and white gel pen to add details.
