Jesus Saves
A certain nondescript donkey couldn’t believe its fortune once when it entered Jerusalem carrying Jesus. People started laying leaves, carpets and choice cloths for it to step on. Wow!. However, the haughty donkey, suffering from severe hubris returned the following day alone expecting an even warmer welcome only to get the shock of its life.
The same people who had held it in high esteem the previous day pelted it with stones and chased it away. Then it dawned for the poor asinine creature. The pomp of the previous day had not been meant for it. Yes, it galloped away braying!
We have an identity only because of the name of Jesus we bear. Without him our righteousness is only filthy rags which belong to the dumpsite – Gehenna (a dumpsite outside ancient Jerusalem). With Jesus we are rulers forever; needless to say without him we are eternal losers.
It’s not by accident that only Jesus could walk on water and Peter could do it for only as long as he was still in one accord with him; the moment he thought he could walk the walk alone he sank. If water represents many people, then only Jesus can rule everyone forever. Many dictators, throughout history have tried to bring everyone under one dominion to no avail. Only the name of Jesus can unite everyone. Darius, the Mede, tried to protect his throne by handing Daniel over to his enemies, but he could not protect it from death.
All through history, one name remains prominent: the name of Jesus. Many people have died defending it and many more have sank into oblivion despising it. There is no other name so dear to men than the name of Jesus.
