And when he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he drew near to Beth′phage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village opposite, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat; untie it and bring it here. If any one asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this, ‘The Lord has need of it.’” So those who were sent went away and found it as he had told them. And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their garments on the colt they set Jesus upon it. And as he rode along, they spread their garments on the road. As he was now drawing near, 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, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
So what was the point of these miracles - do we believe God did these (or truly, anything He ever did) for no consequence? Doesn't He say when He comes to raise Lazarus that it was so they would believe, in Him as the Son of man? At least to start their belief (oh Lord help my unbelief), like when He did signs for the disciples early to begin their turning towards belief in Him - for me it's a life long journey every day I pray He will open my heart head and humility more so I can kmow and do His will - I've not had the Damascus moment maybe, but many small a ha moments where I begin to see His work around us. Thank you Peter for sparking our fellowship.
I'm so thankful that He came to save me. Have a blessed Easter week.
