I’m an eldest daughter which means I’m automatically irritated by your incompetence because I was never given room or grace to be imcompetent. I won’t be elaborating. The daughters who know get it.
Breaking: A'ja Wilson, the WNBA's first-ever four-time MVP, is signing a three-year, $5 million supermax contract to return to the Las Vegas Aces, sources tell @ShamsCharania and @Andraya_Carter.
The deal is the largest in WNBA history to date.
Firstborn daughters may have a mean/tough demeanor; however, this is usually only a defensive mechanism because they've had to be strong for a long time. When you get to know them, you realise that they are the softest, kindest, and most loving people you will ever meet.
✝️ WHY JESUS RODE A DONKEY… AND NOT A HORSE 😳
__________________
On Palm Sunday, something feels… almost strange.
A King enters His city.
A crowd shouts “Hosanna!”
Palms are raised.
And yet…
There is no horse.
No war animal.
No symbol of power.
Instead, Jesus chooses a donkey.
At first glance, it looks like humility.
But it is far more than that.
It is a deliberate, prophetic, and shocking statement.
✝️ A PROPHECY BEING FULFILLED IN PLAIN SIGHT
This was not случай.
It was Scripture unfolding:
“Behold, your king is coming to you;
humble, and mounted on a donkey…” (Zechariah 9:9)
Jesus is not improvising.
He is revealing His identity, clearly, publicly, unmistakably.
Anyone who knew the Scriptures should have understood:
👉 “This is the promised King.”
But again… they missed the deeper meaning.
✝️ HORSE VS DONKEY: TWO DIFFERENT KINGS
In the ancient world, the difference was obvious:
Horse - war, conquest, domination
Donkey - peace, humility, royal legitimacy
Kings rode horses when they went to fight.
They rode donkeys when they came in peace.
So Jesus is making a bold declaration without speaking:
👉 “I am a King… but not the kind you expect.”
✝️ NOT WEAKNESS… BUT CONTROLLED POWER
Let’s be clear.
Jesus did not ride a donkey because He lacked power.
He could have entered Jerusalem:
With angels
With authority
With overwhelming force
But He chose restraint.
The donkey is not weakness.
It is power under control.
It is God saying:
👉 “I do not conquer by crushing you…
I conquer by saving you.”
✝️ THE DETAIL MOST PEOPLE MISS
The Gospels tell us something very specific:
👉 The donkey (a colt) had never been ridden.
This is not random.
In biblical thought, what is set apart for God is often unused, untouched, reserved.
This means:
This moment is sacred
This kingship is unique
This mission is unlike any before it
No king before Him rode this path.
No king after Him can repeat it.
✝️ THE COLLISION OF EXPECTATIONS
The crowd saw the donkey… but interpreted it wrongly.
They still waved palms.
They still shouted “Hosanna.”
Because in their minds:
👉 “The King has come.”
But they expected the next step to be:
👉 War. Power. Revolution.
Instead, Jesus moves steadily toward something else:
👉 The Cross.
✝️ FROM DONKEY TO CROSS
The donkey was the first sign.
It was Jesus saying:
“I am not here to destroy your enemies.
I am here to become your sacrifice.”
That is why the story turns so quickly:
From “Hosanna!”
To “Crucify Him!”
Because a King of peace is harder to accept
than a king of power.
✝️ WHY THIS STILL CONFRONTS US TODAY
Many people still want a “horse-Christ”:
A Christ who fixes everything instantly
A Christ who defeats their enemies
A Christ who brings visible success
But Jesus comes on a donkey:
Quiet
Humble
Sacrificial
And that kind of King demands something deeper:
👉 Trust, not control
👉 Surrender, not domination
👉 Faith, not spectacle
✝️ THE FINAL TRUTH
Jesus did not choose a donkey by accident.
He chose it to reveal a truth many still struggle to accept:
👉 God saves the world… not by power/force,
but by self-giving love.
The donkey was not just a ride.
It was a message.
And many are still missing it.
God bless you 🥰
