“The Lord of Death” #4

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

In Zechariah 9:9, we have a thrilling, powerful record of Jesus' control over His own death and burial as He fulfills Old Testament Scripture. That would be impossible for anyone who was not God. So, even in these matters, John is able to show us that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, that we might come to faith.

In this passage, we have a thrilling, powerful record of Jesus' control over His own death and burial as He fulfills Old Testament Scripture. That would be impossible for anyone who was not God. So, even in these matters, John is able to show us that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, that we might come to faith.

• Power over His dying (John 19:31-37).
• Power over His burial (John 19:38-42).

Takeaway:

1. To live without faith in Jesus is to deny biblical evidence.
2. To die with faith in Jesus is to face a certain future.
