Qc Journey To The Cross

Matthew 21: 4-5 Eric Brei, DCE The pre-knowledge that Jesus had to know that there would be a donkey in the village of Bethpage is only something Jesus (true man and true God) could have done. He did it to fulfill the prophecy found in Zechariah 9:9, which foretells that the Messiah will come to us “riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey”. He knew that the donkey was considered the humblest of animals and that only animals that had never been ridden before would be regarded as sacred. This is also the only instance that we find Jesus riding on any animal. He truly was and is the only Messiah.
