And if anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying him?’, answer him thus, ‘Because the Lord has need of him.’
Luke 19:31
The wording here is suggestive. Jesus not only knew when the owners of the colt would inquire, but He knew exactly what they would say. He also knew that the statement He shares here would be all that was needed to obtain the colt. Though this part indicates what did indeed happen. And that is the owners, as well as many others, recognized Jesus was intending to fulfill Messianic prophecy on this day.
Heavenly Father, thank You for helping us to see our lives in a different light. We get so attached to certain ideas of usefulness and need. Yet You show us a different way. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
