Title: Jesus Riding a Donkey
Description Jesus on a donkey (Matthew 21:1-11)
When Jesus arrived at a village called Bethphage before the Passover, and Jesus told Peter and John to go to the village opposite and bring a colt that was tied up, the disciples said to the owner of the donkey, “The Lord will use it.” He got on and entered the city of Jerusalem. Why? Is it really a donkey foal? This is the fulfillment of the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 of the Old Testament. Verse 3 says, “If anyone asks you why you are doing this, say that the Lord will use it.” What does it mean? It is meant to be used by the owner. Jesus is not only the owner of the donkey, he is the owner of all of us. I hope the Lord will obey me when he says he will use me. Matter, time, talent... everything belongs to the Lord.
Jesus used a donkey. A donkey is a beast that is used to carry loads throughout its life. Being teased by children, donkeys don't even eat meat. But when the donkey was carrying Jesus, people put their cloaks on their backs, spread their cloaks on the road, and became a noble being. Our life is like a donkey. If we serve Jesus well and live humbly, then I too will become a noble person. Jesus changes me. The stable in Bethlehem was shabby and smelly, but when Jesus was served, the glory of God appeared, and it became a place where the wise men came to worship. If you serve Jesus, the church becomes the temple, and the members become the saints. Because of Jesus, I hope you become a noble person and receive prosperity and blessings.
What kind of donkey did Jesus use? The Lord used a tied donkey instead of a loose donkey, which he had chosen to own. He chose Isaac, a house donkey, not Ishmael, a wild donkey, and Jacob, who lives in tents, not Esau, a wild man, and blessed them. Only those who are bound can receive Jesus. When tied, the Lord will rise. When the Lord rides on you, amazing miracles happen. When the Lord gets on, many people take off their clothes and spread them on the road in front of them, cheering. If you tie it, you ride it, and if you ride it, a miracle will happen. It is a blessing to be tied up. Let's become a hooker! Where should I tie it? (1) To Jesus (2) Church (3) Word (4) Mission (5) Office (6) Family (7) The servant of the Lord.
Jesus rode a donkey and entered Jerusalem through the east gate. The east gate is always closed and not used (Ezekiel 44:1-3), so why did Jesus use the east gate? There are two spiritual secrets here. If we take Jesus while we live in this world (1) A firmly closed door, the highway of Zion, will open. (2) This gate is the way to the New Jerusalem, the kingdom of heaven. When the Lord wants to ride, think of it as an honor and say 'yes'. If you ride on Jesus' back, the highway of Zion will open while you live in the world, and the gate of heaven will open when you stand in front of the gate of heaven. I hope that you will be the protagonists of this blessing by riding on the back of Jesus.
