Moshe initially declined his mission saying ''Who am I, that I should go to Pharoah, and that I should bring forth the people of Israel out of Egypt?'' [Shemos 3:11]
The answer to this question was hinted to by the verse ''A poor man is riding on a donkey'' [Zechariah 9:9]. The poor man is a metaphor for the profound humility of Moshiach. Likewise, the fact that he is riding on a mere donkey also points to his humility.
So, we have here an answer to Moshe's question:
Just like Moshiach was chosen by G-d due to his great humility, so too it was with Moshe. Thus, the fact that Moshe humbly declined the mission proved he was the right person for the task.
