sermonette: Christ Riding the Donkey

Lessons From the Donkey
Ronny H. Graham
Given 08-Mar-14; Sermon #1201s; 15 minutes

Description: (hide)

The prophecy of the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem is recorded in Zechariah 9:9 and fulfilled in Matthew 21:1-7. Donkeys are not stupid animals, but they need to trust the individuals who ride them. The donkey is sure-footed and has a strong survival instinct. A donkey is also known for being protective of his owner. Riding a donkey throughout the Scriptures denoted kingship and royalty, as well as a symbol of wealth. Jesus riding on a donkey indicated he was not a common man but a King. When He returns, He will come as a warrior on a horse, putting down the hostile armies of evil mankind.
