3 Natural reasons a donkey is used
It’d been established as a sign of the King - WARNING: Don’t be too spiritual when we read this!
2. What a donkey meant by sight (humility, confidence, beast of burden)
-humility: He thought it not robbery to leave heaven
guilty of being stubborn, it’s confidence.
ex.

used to symbolize peace
Note the many details symbolic of peace:
- “Take away the chariots”: an end to the main vehicle of war.
- “Take away . . . the war-horses”: no need for horses used in war.
- “The battle bow will be broken”: no need for bows or arrows for fighting.
- “He will proclaim peace to the nations”: His message will be one of reconciliation.
- “His rule shall be from sea to sea”: the King will control extended territory with no enemies of concern.
3. Sending a message “I’m the King of kings.”
This scene has a tension.
The Gospels record many of the same scenes but from different vantage points.

Mt 14:31 Peter is on the water; as he’s sinking, He takes him by the hand to keep him from drowning
He took Peter’s mom by the hand
He took Peter’s boat
He took a ride to Tyre and Sidon - daughter was possesed and evil spirit left
App: When ever He takes something from you, get ready!
Took my burdens
Took my seed
Took my infirmity
Took my tears
took my marriage
took my family
How could He steal from Himself?
After all, if it’s in His hands, it’s in the right hands!
That’s worth repeating!
I see:
Authority
You only take something if 1) you think you can get away with it 2) if it already belongs to you!!!
