Jesus traveled to Jerusalem knowing what lay in store for Him there. Even His grand entrance to the city was ordained, down to the last detail, by Almighty God for us to understand the full meaning of Christ's work.
Matthew 21:7There are two ways that a king enters a city. He either enters mounted upon a horse, or he enters mounted upon a donkey. If he enters riding a horse, he enters to conquer. He is at war and expects to find his enemies awaiting his arrival. When a king enters riding a donkey, however, he expects to find his allies. He is not at war, but is at peace. He enters not to defeat his enemies, but to join together with his friends.
They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them.
[NKJV]
John 15:13Even though we lived our entire lives as an enemy of Christ, He enters our heart as a friend. It makes our salvation all the more remarkable doesn't it? It makes Christ's work of grace all the more amazing. That the Lord of all Heaven and Earth would call you and me His friend.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
[NKJV]
Be encouraged, Jose
