A Donkey's Colt
Students may read Mark 11:1-11
Jesus made a plan to ride into Jerusalem for the last time. He told two of his disciples to go to a neighboring village and find a colt of a donkey. He also told them where to find the colt and what to say when asked why they were untying the animal. When the disciples returned with the colt, garments were placed upon its back for Jesus to sit upon. People also spread garments on the road. A happy crowd followed Jesus to Jerusalem shouting, “Hosanna!” and waving leafy branches.
