Be the Donkey
Corrie ten Boom, a devout Christian who helped shelter hundreds of Jewish people from Nazis during World War II, was asked how she stayed humble despite her fame.
“When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday on the back of a donkey, and everyone was waving palm branches and throwing garments onto the road and singing praises, do you think that for one moment it ever entered the head of that donkey that any of that was for him?” she replied. “If I can be the donkey on which Jesus Christ rides in His glory, I give Him all the praise and all the honor.”
Jesus told His followers they’d need to carry (or “take up”) their cross. But how well do you carry your Savior? How do you bring Him into a world that desperately needs the good news of the gospel?
