The Humble King: Zech. 9

In one of the lower points in the history of Israel, Zechariah uses a new word to describe the Messiah: humble. This was not a word anyone would have used to describe a king, but this king would be different. He would be humble; he would take on the form of a servant to save his people. When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, every part of the story showcased his humility, lowliness, and care for us.
