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

A week later Jesus was ordered crucified.

The little donkey 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 their it has remained, a tribute to the loyalty and love of the humblest of God's creatures.
