Why did Jesus choose such a humble entrance (riding on a donkey) when He came into Jerusalem?

He is humble, as he will be raised and glorified so his people will not be afraid of him.

Why did Jesus choose such a humble entrance (riding on a donkey) when He came into Jerusalem?

I believe Jesus chose a humble entrance not only to fulfill a prophecy from the Bible but also to show us that we should humble ourselves before our God and He that sees what we do will reward us. He is our example to follow.

The arrival of Jesus riding on a donkey is introduced with the claim that God is keeping his promise according to the Scriptures. He proclaims the gospel or good news, that: "The time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news! Mark 1:15

Why did Jesus choose such a humble entrance (riding on a donkey) when He came into Jerusalem?

To fulfill the prophesy in Zechariah 9:9
"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey."

Jesus himself is humility. This is one of the reason apart from the fact that the prophecy is fulfilled, 'Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt.'

Jesus chose riding on the donkey when He came to Jerusalem in order to show His humility at the same time His kingship over Israel. Jesus was fulfiling what was written in the scripture (Bible) in oder to show the glory of the God. If we humble ourselves as believers, God will uplift us.

Hello dear friends, When we look at Jesus' life since time memorial, humbleness was his character and so is the character of God.So entering Jerusalem on donkey was partly to fulfil the prophesy, but also to teach us our much we ought to be humble.Remember the bible says somewhere in peter am not really certain whether 1st or 2nd that God rebukes the proud but gives grace to the humble.To God be the groly Amen.

In part to confirm the scriptures that told of His coming, it was like a sign to those who looked for Him; He was humble as we are to be humble.

Donkey Riding

Jesus came to Isreal riding a donkey reminds me of the many donkey songs that exist in th world. But,none approach the beaty, holiness and grace of watching the son of God come in so peacefully and and quietly into Jerusalem. So humble, yet so mighty a King there has never been or never will be again!!! Amen!!!

The Triumphal Entry

On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"
Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written, "Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt." His disciples didn't understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him. The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it. For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."
