Matthew 21: 1 - 22: Honoring Donkeys
They were just nobodies waiting for somebody to give them a purpose. A donkey has no other thought than to be available for what humans want. Jesus had known before the dawn of time that this mother and child would be His partners in the Hosannah parade.
Do you think they understood that their Creator was honoring them with His use? Maybe. Can you imagine their little donkey hearts so excited?! But they were just doing what He asked of them, humble, lowly donkeys. Without them Jesus would have just walked into town. But they elevated Him for all to see.
I think Jesus loves especially to use the common, simple and lowly among us. He says that all His creatures have value. All beings can participate with Him to bring glory to God
