BIBLE READING: Luke 19:29-38
29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
MESSAGE:
I heard someone preach recently, and he said that if God leaves him, there will be little left of him. I do not know how that is possible because, in my case, there will be absolutely nothing left of me if God ever leaves me. I am fully aware that without God, I am absolutely nothing, and I make sure to tell Him that regularly.
The ass that Jesus rode in today’s Bible reading must have looked around and seen people laying their clothes on the ground for it to walk on as they sang and danced joyously. It must have felt really special at that point. However, the moment Jesus stopped riding it, it returned to its ordinary existence and probably went back to being used on a farm.
My dear child, do not think you are smart and can do all things by yourself. God can change anyone’s status in an instant; therefore, you must do everything to ensure that He is always on your side.
Quiz: Why did people cast their clothes on the ass in today’s Bible reading?
