Majoring on the Minors: The People with the Donkeys

This week we launched our Easter series, Majoring on the Minors, by focusing on a pair of unnamed individuals whose small act of obedience played a major role in the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. In Mark 11:1–11, we meet “the people with the donkeys”—ordinary people who responded in quiet faith when the Lord had need. Through their simple yes, prophecy was fulfilled and the King of kings rode into the city in humility. Their story reminds us that God has been working His redemptive plan since before time began, that we may not always get every detail, but that our call is clear: obey and trust. In a world that longs for significance, the people with the donkeys remind us that the greatest honor is to be used by Jesus for His glory.
