Matthew 21
WILLING TO GIVE
Jesus was about to make his triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The time was right and all he needed was a donkey and a colt to ride on, to fulfill the prophecy made about him. So Jesus called two disciples and said to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” (Matthew 21 v 2 – 3).
It all happened just as Jesus said. I can imagine the question being asked, “What are you doing untying the donkey?”
And then the answer, “The Lord needs them.”
I can imagine the willing response, “Of Course! Take them with my blessing!”
What if we got asked for our car; asked to take a week off work; asked to have people to stay for a month; asked to say encouraging words to someone each time you saw them; asked to clean someone’s house or mow their lawn; asked for a bigger than usual donation in the collection bag; or asked to visit someone who is dying? Would our response be the same?
When we know that the Lord needs it, would we be willing?
May we live generously as God has blessed us this weekend.
With love in our Lord,
Robert
