I'll Take the Donkey

There are many people today who are stuck, upset, frustrated, and stressed out with life because they made decisions based upon hoe something appeared, only to have their dream become a nightmare. And now here they are, praying, praising, and listening to preaching to see if God will fix up what they messed up. Today’s key passage is intended to provide a divine remedy for that kind of condition. Here we have Jesus making what some scholars and theologians call his triumphant entrance into the city of Jerusalem during the final week of his life. But Jesus didn’t enter the way you think a king would enter a city under these circumstances. Instead, he entered on a donkey, choosing to be humble rather than to flaunt his power and lordship over all. We have a lot to learn from the example Jesus set for us in the moment.
