The Gospel According To An Ass

as we celebrate that glorious event known as Palm Sunday what do you think that donkey Jesus rode would have to say? to ride on a donkey was once regarded as a symbol of peace a state that we in this modern era just can't seem to reach but I'm so glad that I serve a God of peace and harmony and I'm so glad that He sent His Son Jesus to save me Jesus came into town riding on an untamed ass the people were so joyful they threw palm leaves across His path but He was not the type king that they expected and before the week was out by them He was rejected I often wondered what was on the mind of that untamed beast on the day that Jesus rode him into the midst of that feast never before to have been ridden by any type of being so what do you think that donkey was spiritually receiving? the Gospel according to an ass to know that the Prince of Peace has come at last God has a plan for each of us and it's full of His mercy and grace but in order to receive it you need to be in the right place positioned for your purpose you just need to be in that place where of you the Lord our God can see for when God is ready to move in your life you need to be found in the right place at the right time standing on higher ground Jesus needed that beast at that appointed hour and it was positioned by Father God's almighty power its destiny to be ridden by Jesus the Christ the Son a triumphant symbol of peace because its time had come a donkey is usually perceived as difficult, stubborn and headstrong but is an intelligent beast just don't lead it in a way that is wrong they have a sense of perception and self-preservation are very easy to train just don't put it in a precarious situation it was sure-footed and purposely positioned in the right place the Gospel according to an ass to be ridden with God's saving grace it was a kyros moment it was a sight to be seen on the back of an ass Jesus the Christ, the King of Kings in the right place with the proper perspective positioned for its purpose at last and that is the Gospel according to an ass
