How do we know Jesus is the King mentioned in Zechariah 9?

Zechariah 9:9 prophesies the coming of a just and humble king who brings salvation. This prophecy is fulfilled in the New Testament during Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where He rides on a donkey, as described in John 12:15. The fulfillment of this prophecy demonstrates Christ's identity as the King who not only reigns over the earth but also brings peace and salvation to His people. The text assures us that He comes with grace, filled with the blessings of God, and desires us to look upon Him for redemption.
