The Triumphant King: Why Jesus Rode a Donkey | Luke 19
About This Video
Israel expected a warhorse, and got a donkey. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem wasn’t a political parade but a march toward sacrificial victory. In this message, we unpack three hard truths for modern life and business: (1) real triumph often looks humble and hidden, (2) crowds are fickle, anchor in calling, not applause, and (3) obedience is the road to breakthrough. You’ll leave with a framework to redefine success, commit to faithful action, and celebrate “small entries” that build eternal fruit. True victory rides in humbly, and changes everything. Takeaways -Greatness = faithfulness, not flash. -Anchor confidence in calling, not crowds. -Obedience precedes breakthrough; pruning precedes growth. -“Donkey seasons” develop leaders who last. -Redefine success by eternal metrics, not optics. Subscribe for weekly teachings at the intersection of faith, leadership, and work, and pick one faithful action to obey this week, even if no one claps. Where might God be inviting you to a humble “donkey entry” instead of a flashy “warhorse win”?
