The Crucifixion On the back of a small donkey Dear Jesus took his final ride Going to great Jerusalem Where he knew he'd be crucified. His followers trailed after Him Waving palm leaves for their new King, Not knowing that this Christ Jesus Was aware what the trip would bring. They shouted their loud Hosannas Without knowing the awesome fact. Christ's journey was his final one And would all the world impact. They thought Him their earthly leader, Bringing justice to their harsh lives, But one of them would betray him Before another week arrives. This one sells Him out for silver Another friend denies him thrice. Christ accepted without rancor, This need for His sacrifice. The humble little donkey Carrying our dear Lord with pride Would share in the grievous sorrow On the black day Christ Jesus died. "Blessed is He", the people shouted, "Who comes in the name of the Lord!" Yet to save themselves from danger They soon denied Him with a word. "Crucify Him, crucify Him!" Those wicked men and women cried. How much truer the small donkey When Holy Christ was crucified. By: Joyce |

Love the perspective from which this was written. The donkey being more loyal than many of Christ's human followers, is food for thought. How often we fail at the most critical moments in life. Thanks for sharing this gem. |
