24-March-24 (Mark 11:1-11)

How is the love of God demonstrated? Jesus shows us that the love of God comes humbly, not with the trappings of power and the force of fear, but humbly, riding on the back of a donkey. Jesus shows us that the love of God comes to walk with the people the others forget about, to lift up those who are oppressed, to care for those in need.
