Today, we delve into the profound nature of the prophetic gift and its true essence in our faith journey. The central message revolves around Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey - a powerful biblical narrative that challenges our understanding of power and prophecy. This seemingly humble act was, in fact, a bold declaration of kingship, echoing the actions of King David and Solomon. Yet, it subverts our worldly expectations of power and triumph. The lesson here is clear: God's power often manifests in unexpected, humble ways. We're called to look beyond the surface, to seek God's movement in the quiet, obscure places of our lives and the world. This insight invites us to reconsider how we perceive God's work and to align our understanding of power with Jesus' example of humility and sacrifice.
