I was reading the scripture that tells about the day Jesus made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem. As Jesus was making preparation to enter the city, He asked two of his disciples to go into a nearby village, where they would find a colt that no man had ridden, and bring the colt to him. He instructed his disciples to untie the colt and bring it to him. Jesus said, If anyone asks what you are doing, just say, “The Lord needs it.” They followed his instructions. (Mark 11:1-3 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethpage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2. saying to them, Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3. If anyone asks you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of it and will send it back here shortly.) The colt represented the fulfillment of the prophecy made in Zechariah 9:9. What does the Lord want from you to fulfill His great plan in this broken world? To this family we read about this morning, it was a colt. To you, it may be a gift you have, a special talent you have been given, your time, your career, or part of your finances. Maybe God could use your knowledge, your wisdom, or your work experience to help others along their way. Whatever you have that God needs, we need to do like this family did when asked about the colt, if the Lord needs it, I am willing to release it and let God have it. God will do amazing things with what we release into His hands to use. Pastor Don [image: image.png]
