Mary Rode a Donkey?

Last week at the Route 56 Christmas dinner, I read them the Christmas story from Luke 2, and we talked about it. I asked, “Can you imagine going all that way to Bethlehem with a baby in your belly?” The kids responded, “Mary got to ride on a donkey!” I then asked them, “Where does the Bible say that?” They were stumped! There are many of you who now are questioning whether I am right. Go look in Matthew and Luke, the only two gospels that record Christ’s birth, and see if you see a donkey. Here is a great video to watch that will make you read Jesus’ birth very intently. Click on the following link: http://vimeo.com/2496836.

Remember, while the minor details of the story may not be the same, it is the eternal truth of Jesus’ leaving heaven and coming to earth that is the most important. Have a Merry Christmas!
