A military tank. An armored car. Air Force One. A military war horse. These are all fitting modes of transportation for a ruler of a country or kingdom. But the King of the Universe, Jesus, rides in… on a young donkey. A beast of burden.
The crowd doesn’t even seem to notice. The palm branches and cloaks are strewn none the less. Maybe they remember the prophecy, “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!”
The parade will not deter Jesus from His lofty goal, to be humbled and obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. The King of the Universe will ascend His throne of the cross so that you and I will be heirs of a kingdom that will never fade.
Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
