"Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt
that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here."
He instructs two of his disciples to go into a nearby village where they will find a colt that has
never been ridden. "Untie it," Jesus tells them, "and bring it." If someone asks why they are
taking the colt, they are simply to say, "The Lord needs it." With that assurance the two
disciples set out in search of a colt. Imagine their surprise and joy when they find the colt just
as Jesus said they would. And sure enough as they were taking it, someone questioned
them, "What are you doing untying the colt?" The disciples replied as Jesus had instructed
them and were allowed to continue without any further questions.
Do we trust Jesus' instructions?
(Luke 19.30
NRSV)
Jesus and his twelve disciples stand at a vantage point overlooking the beautiful city of
Jerusalem. Jerusalem could be seen for miles in all directions. The city seemed so peaceful
from a distance. From this vantage point Jesus realized that the end of his earthly ministry was
soon approaching. "The hour has come," Jesus tells his followers.
Dear Jesus, give me the faith and understanding to follow your instructions. Amen.
