"The donkey serves Christ faithfully and nobly" Palm Sunday 2024

"The donkey serves Christ faithfully and nobly" Palm Sunday 2024

The donkey serves Christ faithfully and nobly in surrendering its body to Christ’s service. He doesn’t look to Himself but looks to His master. The donkey that bears Christ walks safely under Christ without fear and anxiety. He does not fall victim to pride, failure, or error. Christ leads and guides Him by the bridle so He does not go astray. Christ curbs him so He does not run off into his conceit and presumption. If he falls, Christ lifts him back up. Christ corrects him with the rod if he is reluctant, idle, or lazy. He remains ever near Christ. And whatever honor is given to Christ is enjoyed by the donkey. Whatever good is done to Christ, the donkey also enjoys, whether it is garments, palm branches, singing, or praises.
