Sojourners Verse and Voice – 3 April 2023

Verse of the day 
Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!” 

– John 12:14-15

Voice of the day 
There is a miracle in belonging to a God who rejects the image and status of a gloried hero. And instead comes to us on a donkey, centering the plight of those who suffer. Liberation begins with this: do not be afraid. 

– Cole Arthur Riley

Prayer of the day
What a comfort it is to belong to a God who came to this Earth humbly. Thank you for sending your liberation not on a war horse, but a meek colt.
