The prophet describes the coming king - he's righteous, victorious, but he comes riding on a donkey, not a horse. He's gentle and humble, not what you'd expect in a conquering king.
This is about Jesus, coming in a way nobody expected. Power expressed through humility. Victory through sacrifice. A complete reversal of how worldly power works.
I was so formed by ambition - always wanting to be the best, to be impressive, to be powerful. Jesus on a donkey undoes all that. Real power is often quiet. Real authority doesn't need to announce itself. Real strength is often hidden.
