The Story of the Donkey's Cross

"Bring me the colt of a donkey."

was the masters request.

A young donkey was brought to Jesus to carry Him to Jerusalem.

A week later Jesus was ordered to be Crucified.

The little donkey so loved the Lord that he wanted to help Him carry the cross.

But alas, he was pushed away.

The sad little donkey waited to say goodbye until nearly all had left.

As he turned to leave, the shadow of The Cross fell upon his back and shoulders.

And there it has remained, a tribute to the loyalty and love love of the humblest of God's creatures.
