I think the purpose in Jesus' humble existence to to be sure that people, all people, understand that salvation, Heaven, God, His mercy, His Grace, all of His blessings, forgiveness, all of the gifts from God belong to anyone regardless of their social standing.

He is the servant King.Humility is what rises up to Heaven. Kneeling obedient not mine but your will be done. Also Mary's riding the donkey to Betlehem comes to mind and another one in the OT, who gets beaten up as he ambles on with his load. It shows us how we are to carry our cross.Meek and persevering.There is deep peace in the 'ambling' words spoken by Jesus and a calming force in the word 'behold'...like when he said peace, I bring to you.

Jesus entered Jerusalem in a humble manner, riding on a donkey to fulfill the old testament prophets about Him. God exolt the humble , therefore, Jesus wanted the glory of God and His greatness to be shown upon Jerusalem. Jesus was also trying to stirre up the city of Jerusalem so that people might reason among themselves in regard to how he was welcomed over there in Jerusalem. Jesus was the humble king who did not want to show off but proclaim the true gospel concerning the kingdom of God.

Jesus chose to enter Jerusalem in a humble manner riding a donkey because he was silently looking forward to whatever was ahead of Him. Jesus also at that was secretly moarning for the people He was going to give His life for, but had not valued His works. Still, the scriptures had to be fulfilled, it was written that He would enter Jerusalem in that manner.

Jesus represents the spiritual essence of man that is to be expressed as the son of God, the Christ. The donkey represents the intellect of man, the human will. In order to express the true nature of ourbeing, spiritual man, the Christ, the human will, must decrease in order that the spiritual being of us to increase.

Jesus chose to make His entry to Jerusalem in a humble manner, riding a donkey because that's the way He taught His disciples setting an example to them and also fulfilling the prophecy of the scripture. By: Allen Yong - May 27, 2008 - Public Category: The Triumphal Entry
When they drew near to
Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of
Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately
you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring
them to me. If anyone
says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord needs them,' and
immediately he will send them." All this was done,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey."
The disciples went,
and did just as Jesus commanded them, and brought the donkey and the
colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them. A very great multitude spread
their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread
them on the road. The
multitudes who went before him, and who followed kept shouting,
"Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of
the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
When he had come into
Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?"
The multitudes said,
"This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee."
