Gentle king on a donkey
"If you come to Jesus and say,
'I would like some help.
I would like some inspiration.
I would like you to be my partner.'
You know what Jesus Christ says?
Jesus says
'Oh, I could be more than that.
I could be your shepherd.
I could be your brother.
I could be your guide.
I can be your friend.
But I won't be anything unless I'm king.
Either i will be king.
Or
I will be nothing.
I want all of you or none of.
Crown me or kill me.
Throw everything over and make me
Supreme Monarch of your life or
Despise me.
But I will not be liked."
Tim Keller
John 12
12 On the next day, when the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, indeed, the King of Israel!” 14 Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: 15 “Do not fear, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” 16 These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things for Him. 17 So the [f]people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him. 18 For this reason also the [g]people went to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this [h]sign. 19 So the Pharisees said [i]to one another, “You see that you are not accomplishing anything; look, the world has gone after Him!”
