Why did Jesus ride a donkey? Let’s explore the symbolism of the donkey and the prophecy of Passover.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus rose a donkey into Jerusalem? Why DID Jesus ride a donkey into Jerusalem? As we look at the times donkeys showed up in the Old Testament a very clear picture is painted of the meaning and symbolism of the donkey. Donkey in Hebrew means “beast of burden” and the only way to redeem a donkey is with a lamb.

We see donkeys in several places in the Tanak or Old Testament. Each time they represent a burden of some kind. Either a burden or tok God has commanded or a burden we have put on ourselves.

The information you have is just going to keep blowing my mind because I don't ever hear these things in modern churches. This is why Bible study is so valuable. To the believer, all these details are quite remarkable!

I know about the cross on the back. I think it’s very interesting. Why are some adamant about it being a “torcher stake” ?
