What's With The Donkey? | Cal Fong

As we enter the season of Lent, we're exploring the final week of Jesus' life—and it starts with an unexpected choice. Jesus, the King of Kings, rode into Jerusalem on a borrowed, unridden donkey. Not a war horse. Not a royal chariot. A humble donkey.

Here's the beautiful truth: that donkey reveals everything about the kind of King Jesus is. A spiritual King bringing peace, not war. An eternal King who owns nothing temporary. A gracious King offering relationship over religion. And most incredibly—a deserved King who came for the undeserved.

Just as a firstborn donkey could only be redeemed by the sacrifice of a perfect lamb, we who are unclean by nature can only be saved through Jesus, our perfect Lamb. This Lent, take time to ask: "Who is this?" and let your life answer: "Jesus, You are my King."
