Mat 21:2 “saying to them, “Go into the village in
front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her.
Untie them and bring them to me.”
The story of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem tells us
how he sent two of his disciples to a village and instructed them to bring Him a
donkey for Him to enter Jerusalem on. But why did Jesus choose the lowly donkey
instead of getting a magnificent horse to ride on?
1.) Humility - fulfilled the prophecy in (Zech
9:9), making his entry while riding a lowly animal. 2.) Servant,
though a King, riding the donkey showed He came to serve not to be served.
3.) Peace - ancient world, a leader rode on a
horse signifying war and a donkey to signify peace.
While we all love to make an entrance, I can’t think of a
better way than how Jesus made his! Does your arrival bring with it the image
of Humility, Servitude and Peace?
“If Jesus rode low on a donkey, maybe we should get off our
high-horse” … HSAY
