The Peace of Christ's Reign

Commentator Matthew Henry draws a powerful spiritual parallel from this event. Just as the city became quiet and the people rejoiced when the rightful king was restored, he suggests that a believer's soul finds true quietness and joy when the 'Son of David,' Jesus Christ, is enthroned in their heart. The removal of a corrupt ruler brought peace to the land, mirroring the spiritual peace that comes when Christ reigns in a person's life.
