Egg #1 Little Donkey

I encourage everyone to follow along with as we countdown 12 days to Easter. I know that my family looks forward to this special tradition each year. We use the Lifeway Resurrection Eggs, and I will capture each egg in picture and post it each day.

Matthew 21:1b-3, 6-8 (following)

Jesus sent two disciples, 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. If anyone says anything to you, you will say, 'The Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once."

The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and He sat on them. Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

In Jesus' day, most people walked everywhere. Sometimes, kings rode on donkeys or horses when they entered a city. The people would stop what they were doing and watch as the king rode by. On the day that Jesus rode into the city, the people were thrilled to see Him. They believed that He was their new king who had come to save them and to fill their lives with joy.
