There has been some posts regarding Jesus is a Patriot.
That is so Great.
Something that isn’t commonly know about is how Jesus loved equines. He and his mother Mary loved to ride together on their horses across the land.
In their community there were also donkeys. Of course we all know the famous stories of Mother Mary riding her donkey into Bethlehem and Jesus riding his donkey on palm Sunday.
Donkeys were common and Jesus and Mary each had their own donkey. They kept their two donkeys with others in a community barn/corral. Jesus had a very unusual beautiful white donkey. This donkey was truly magnificent. Not that anything is perfect, but if you did use the term perfect this donkey was as close as one could get. Mary had a more ordinary donkey, not particularly beautiful or ugly, kind of small really, kind of pale in color. The beautiful white donkey loved the pale donkey. The pale donkey did not really even understand why, but was very grateful. There was also a strong red colored donkey housed with them. He belong to another member of the community. This donkey also protected the pale donkey as she was the only female donkey in the group. And finally there were two black donkeys. They hung out together and often looked kind of sideways at the other three donkeys. These two black donkeys were real thinkers, they thought the other three donkeys were kind of silly at times.
Anyway, Jesus and Mary needed to purchase some more donkeys as there was much work to be done on a new farm they were just beginning to build. They approached the owner of the red and two black donkeys. He said he would sell them, but they were a bit headstrong. He told Jesus if he could catch them, then he would sell them.
Jesus went into the corral to see if he could catch one. The red donkey did not want to go as he was very worried about leaving the pale donkey. He was very concerned about her protection. The two black donkeys were both reluctant. One was already comfortable with Jesus from prior interactions and came willingly. The other one remained wary.
Jesus now had the white, the pale and one black donkey. He would have to go back to get the other two, which he planned to do very soon.
The owner of the donkeys insisted that Jesus sign a contract in order to purchase the donkeys.
Just like in days of old a written contract in some form, did not have to be anything fancy, was required to seal the Deal.
Think Art of the Deal!
We will have to wait and see if Jesus can catch the other two donkeys and get them signed up before he begins work on his new farm. But he must hurry as the season is fast approaching….
