DONKEYS AND HORSES

“In ancient times, dignitaries would ride donkeys in civil processions, and horses in military ones. A king arriving on a donkey would indicate that the person was on a peaceful mission, not one bent on military conquest. Whatever one makes of the rabbinic ideas about the Messiah, Yeshua’s (the name of Jesus in Hebrew) coming on a donkey shows his humility – and maybe, in keeping with the rabbinic understanding, even our own unworthiness! But Yeshua came exactly so that God’s grace could redeem us even in our most unworthy moments.”
(From Jews for Jesus)

“And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
“Fear not, daughter of Zion;
behold, your king is coming,
sitting on a donkey’s colt!”

His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him.” (Gospel of John 12:14-16)

Our King of Peace has come.

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” Jesus
