Behold, your King is coming to you, lowly, and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey. —Matthew 21:5
A minister referred to Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem and asked: “What if the donkey on which Jesus was riding had thought all the cheering was for him? What if that small animal had believed that the hosannas and the branches were in his honor?”
The minister then pointed to himself and said: “I’m a donkey. The longer I’m here the more you’ll come to realize that. I am only a Christ-bearer and not the object of praise.”
In recording Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, Matthew referred to the prophecy of Zechariah: “Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King is coming to you, lowly, and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey’” (Matthew 21:5; see Zechariah 9:9).
On Palm Sunday, the donkey was merely a Christ-bearer, bringing the Son of God into the city where He would give His life for the sins of the world.
If we could develop a healthy “donkey mentality,” what an asset that would be as we travel the road of life. Instead of wondering what people think of us, our concern would be, “Can they see Christ Jesus, the King?” Rather than seeking credit for service rendered, we would be content to lift up the Lord.

Good evening Mayor & Happy Father's Day!
Thank you very much.
I had a great day with the family.
I have to give you the credit for the Pledge graphic!
You always find fabulous ones.!!
I will have to scan in my signed copy of the pic. I met the man in the grey suit - S/Sgt. Chris Braman. He is a true hero. He spent many hours after the plane hit rescuing people from the debris and has permanent lung damage from the smoke and ash. The flag was standing in the demolished officer of a Marine officer and was literally the only thing left standing in his office. These four guys brought it out.
WOW!!!
Great graphic, Dubya!
