2000 years ago, the Jewish people were waiting for their King to arrive and deliver them from the suffering that they had endured for centuries. Many expected a mighty warrior, dressed in armour, and riding a stallion, that would immediately defeat anyone that opposed him. He would need to be a force so powerful, that enemies would be annihilated or would flee in fear. You can imagine the surprise when a carpenter asked his friends to fetch a donkey for his grand arrival, and then announced that he was the king they had been waiting for. Their king was indeed powerful, but not due to his physical strength or any political stature that He had achieved. Their king was God's own son, sent to earth to show us how to love and to serve like God does - all while riding on a donkey. Praise Him.
