Upside Down
Then Jesus arrived on a young donkey. What does His manner of arrival say about Him and the kingdom of heaven? It tells us it is unlike any other kingdom in all the world. It is an upside-down kingdom (Thank you, Donald Kraybill). In this kingdom, the least shall be the greatest. In this kingdom, if you lose your life for His sake, you will gain your life. In this kingdom, the poor and powerless are valued. And, this King, in His own words, is gentle and humble. He is ushering in the upside-down kingdom as He rides into Jerusalem on a young donkey. The week that changed the world begins.
