Anybody like parades?
My wife loves parades.
Every year she makes us go to the Canonsburg 4th of July Parade.
There is so much excitement going on around and in a parade.
Jesus was in a parade once.
Well, He really was the parade.
Over 2,000 years later we are still talking about.
It was just another Sunday in Jerusalem.
The Messiah was coming through and people got really excited about it.
So what just started as another Sunday turned into a big parade but there was only one “float.”
Jesus on a Donkey.
What do we call this day today?
Palm Sunday.
Jesus borrowed a donkey, this King didn’t even have His own donkey.
As people were looking down the road waiting for the parade to come by, they started to spread their jackets on the road and some even took tree branches and laid them out for the parade.
Why a donkey?
Today’s marketing experts would tell Jesus to ride into town on a big white horse.
gives us the answer, “Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
Fulfilling the prophecy written hundreds of years before, Jesus rides into Jerusalem as a conquering King, in the manner of the day.
Why a donkey?
Wouldn’t it be more fitting for a great King to ride through on a great white horse?
Well, we really shouldn’t be surprised because Zechariah told us this would happen.
Zechariah 9:9
People love parades and they love parties.
Once the event is over, “friends” disappear and even come up with excuses to get out of there.
This was no exception.
When the people found out there would be no after party , they turned from shouting praises to yelling curses quickly.
