The Man on My Back: Jesus and His Four-Legged Helpers

Jesus loved animals and used their talents from time to time. He invited a pair of four-legged animals, a donkey and colt, to escort him into Jerusalem. Their names were Jenny and Cobalt. They had heard about the Son of God and were as eager as everyone else to see him. However, they were not sure if the men who had come for them had good intentions. When they were convinced that the men had come from Jesus, Jenny and Cobalt were humbled. The other animals were surprised that Jesus would pick beasts of burdens, but they all knew that it had been foretold that a donkey and a colt would be part of Jesus’s journey on earth.
