Behold, your King is coming to you, lowly, and sitting on a donkey. -Mt 21:5

‘What if the donkey on which Jesus was riding had thought all the cheering was for him? What if that small animal had believed that the hosannas and the branches were in his honor?’  Behind the humor, this is a challenging question every Christian should regularly ask themselves at work, at home and at church.  ‘Maybe I am not deserving of special applause at work, after all I am a part of a greater team, they deserve the applause.  Maybe I am not deserving of special applause at home, after all my spouse works just as hard as me.  Maybe I am not deserving of special praise in church, many have worked as hard as me, and nothing I’ve done amounts to anything without God’s blessing.’… Perhaps this is our Christian calling, to see other people and ourselves as always carrying something much greater than us. This is at once very humbling and very liberating.
