Day 8

The Second Sunday of Advent

from the reading plan


Zechariah 9:9


In this second week of Advent, the story of God’s people continues as He provided again and again for Israel, even as they spiraled further and further into darkness. As God raised up priests and kings to guide His people and prophets to call them back from the brink, the people of God were desperate for the promised leader who would fully and finally rescue them from their enemies.

As we read of God’s people turning ever toward the darkness, we’ll cling to the promise of one who would come as the perfect ruler and rescuer of His people forever.

Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout in triumph, Daughter Jerusalem!
Look, your King is coming to you;
he is righteous and victorious,
humble and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
—Zechariah 9:9
