First Hosanna started with Jesus sending his disciples to bring a donkey to ride on. The Biblical message or implications of Hosanna is not included in this analysis as it's known to everyone. But I am trying to analyze the Hosanna in the present day life. Even though there were objects like donkey, carpet, flowers involved in the first Hosanna, the selection of donkey is the major one. Son of God could have ride on a chariot or a horse. But He selected a donkey. Do this selection of donkey have any relevance in today's life ?
Donkey is considered to be an animal which carries whatever his master put on him. It never complaints. Anyone can ride it. It bows it's head to take whatever is expected it to do.
Are we ready to be a donkey so that the son of God can ride on us ? To become a donkey, we have to bow our head before others; we should reject our stubborn nature; we should be willing to accept others. When we do these, others will call us as a donkey. People will tell each other, this guy is a donkey. But we have the answer, which Jesus told his disciples, "my lord and god have need of me to ride on". By bringing the baby donkey, none had used before, Jesus is aiming at us brothers and sisters who have not yet have the mentality to accept others or bow before others. For becoming a donkey, we have the clear answer, "my lord and god have need of me to ride on".
What will we gain by becoming a donkey to ride the son of god? People around us will lay red carpets on the way we walk, to accept and welcome us, and they will shower the flowers of love and blessings on us; because son of god is riding on us. They will say Hosanna to us, because we lowered our self as a donkey to become a peace maker.
Let's decide whether we are ready or not to lower our self as a donkey. Let's decide whether we allow the son of God to ride on us. Let's decide whether we walk on the red carpets of peace. Let's decide whether we need flowers of blessings to be showered on us. If the answer to these decisions are yes, then lower our self as a donkey. Then the son of God will ride on us.
