Matthew 21: 1-11
21 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,
“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.
8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Because Genesis began with Jesus, and because of their Great Love - we have a Father. Our God chooses to be Our Father.
We are starting out. Beginning another voyage of Holy Days.
And while we do not see the detail of the days coming forth, God knows exactly what He is doing. And God will say to these days at hand, "Prepare a Straight Path for the Lord God." God who choses to be a Father to us.
The Universe is vast and difficult - particularly - when we navigate emotion finding meaning in life. For the Almighty, Ancient of Days, Light of Light, True God of True God. The Holy Spirit - who calls the Stars and all of the Heavenly Host by name - the Universe is not overwhelmingly large. The Universe - Creation of God - Who choses in Jesus Christ to be our Father - is not burdensome to Him.
So much so, Jesus frolics with Donkeys. The Word of God frolics with Donkeys. God sees so much Good - He calls His donkey to speak and the children, the infant and the rocks to proclaim the Glory of God Most High.
The Word of God bestows on donkeys the ability to speak and proclaim loyalty with wisdom. Jesus chose Donkeys. David took his to be crowned the King of many tribal lands. God has a fondness for these protective animals. God displays fun with donkeys and honor.
Donkeys have a notorious reputation for stubbornness, and attributed with sense of self-preservation/regard for life. Difficult to force or frighten a donkey into doing something it perceives to be dangerous against life. Trusting and dependable for work. Donkeys appear to be quite intelligent, cautious, friendly, playful, and eager to learn.
Matthew 21:16
They said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, “‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise’?”
Luke 19:40
"I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."
We have a God, who choses us. To be a Father to us. Today.
Remember again the Splendor of Our Almighty Father dwelling in us, who cherish Jesus Christ our Lord.
Isaiah 40:6-14
A voice says, “Cry!”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
Go on up to a high mountain,
O Zion, herald of good news;
lift up your voice with strength
O Jerusalem, herald of good news;
lift it up,
fear not;
say to the cities of Judah,
“Behold your God!”
Behold, the Lord God comes with might,
Behold, the Lord God comes with might,
and his arm rules for him;
behold, his reward is with him,
He will tend his flock like a shepherd;
he will gather the lambs in his arms;
he will carry them in his bosom,
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
and marked off the heavens with a span,
enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
and weighed the mountains in scales
Who has measured the Spirit of the Lord,
or what man shows him his counsel?
Whom did he consult,
and who made him understand?
Who taught him the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?
Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint
