A Donkey & A Horse

Last night i was at a local church, and the Elder-in-training gave a short message on Jesus riding in on a donkey to Jerusalem. I was aware of some of the things that he stated, but one thing was interesting. Jesus used a donkey (colt of a donkey) to show he came in civil peace. That is what a King rode in on when he came in peace for civil affairs. Jesus came in peace, to purchase our peace with God.

But...

He is coming again. And this time, on a WAR HORSE, and not for civil peace! Revelation 19. He comes to make war with the nations. Kings would ride on horses in military victory. Think Alexander the Great and his trusty steed. Christ IS returning, on his WAR HORSE, with the armies of heaven behind Him. Amazing. He will wage war, and then bring peace at the consummation of the Ages.

If we are in Christ, we can trust that, indeed.....

"For He Himself is our peace..."

Ephesians 2:14a

If you would like to know the hope we have in Christ, here is a sermon that lays it all out....by Paul Washer.
