* In Bible days Kings rode on donkeys in peacetime.

* If the king mounted a horse he came for war.

* Christ riding on the donkey was a sign that He was king and had come in peace.

* The people were so excited they made a triumphal entrance.

* Now stop a second and consider the donkey.

* He might have felt like he finally made it to the show.

* All these people trying to make his track comfortable, worried about his feet so they lay branches down.

* “They must really love me,” he might have thought.

* But what he needed to know what that they were cheering for the Savior on his back.

* The same is true with us - we are just the donkeys who usher Jesus into the environments where God places us.
