(Jesus told his disciples -”Go into the village opposite you and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it.”) “If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” Mark 11:3
Lord this was a very interesting event to look at today in light of all we know and understand.
I don’t know who this colt belonged to but if that were in our society today and someone just went and untied a colt and took it someone would sure be asking what you were doing. And then second it is interesting that they were to say the ‘Lord’ has need of it.’ Obviously from that statement the person would know who the ‘Lord’ was.
Lord what I see in this is that often the disciples didn’t understand the total picture and today we often don’t understand the total picture either. AND they didn’t have to understand it just as we don’t have to understand it. It didn’t have to make sense to them and it doesn’t have to make sense to us. All we need to do is obey. We need to listen to You and obey. You know the end results and the reasons.
Thank You Lord that we can trust You and what a wonderful gift that truly is.
Thank You. Thank You Lord.
