Teaching A gentle donkey colt waits in the lane

God promised a gentle King - and Jesus came just as God said, riding on a donkey, kind and humble and full of love.

  • When have you been gentle with something soft, like a pet or a baby? Jesus the King is gentle like that with you. How does that feel?
  • The King could have come on a big scary horse, but He chose a little donkey instead. What does that tell you about what Jesus is like?
  • When Jesus rode in on the donkey, people cheered and shouted for joy. What is something about Jesus that makes you happy?
