The Opportunity of a Lifetime

Mar 29, 2026    Bishop Steven Arnold

Palm Sunday reveals an “opportunity of a lifetime” through the perspective of the donkey chosen to carry Jesus into Jerusalem, showing how God uses ordinary vessels for extraordinary purposes. This pivotal moment teaches us about being found, released, filled, and given responsibility, as the donkey was untied, set apart, and used for a divine assignment. Like the donkey, we must be willing to be available to God, to let go of what binds us, and to carry His presence wherever He leads. The story challenges us to respond when God calls, to release what He asks for, and to step into our purpose, trusting that no matter our past or limitations, God can use us for His glory.
