to fulfill the scriptures that he would be riding on a donkey when he comes into Jerusalem, but they would reject him also, because they wanted a king for this world, an Jesus Christ said my kingdom is not of this world, if my kingdom was of this world, my angels would fight for me, im just paraphrasing it.
Because it had prophecied in Isaiah and in the Psalms(?)...I am not sure of the siginificance of the donkey if that is what you meant...Maybe something about humble...He was having the Mazarati detailed, but was not too proud to take the donkey?
Because it was said this would be a sign the savior has come he told John to go and return to him with it. When he came to the people they greeted him and he rode upon a common horse.
