Summary
This is also the fulfillment of the prophecy from Zechariah 9th chapter that when Jesus would ride into Jerusalem, he would ride in neatly, he would ride in humbly, he would ride in not to reign, he would ride into die. This is the one that Isaiah prophesies about, when he says, for a child has been born for us, a son given to us, authority rests upon his shoulders, and he has named wonderful counselor, mighty God everlasting father, Prince of peace, peace incarnate, peace on earth in Jesus Christ, the one who would affect peace, and so the entrance to Him of the angels, glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom He favors. And then the entrance into Jerusalem, and the crowd sings, blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven and glory in the highest heaven. The weight of the cross was nothing compared to the weight of sin that Jesus Christ took upon himself when he went to the cross. The entrance, him of the angels, on that first Christmas mourn, and on earth peace, and the entrance, him by the crowd, as Jesus rode into Jerusalem to die. The prince of peace had come, God incarnate, to reconcile the world peace on earth, but peace in heaven, that occurred at the cross.
