The Holy Week

After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
 

Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
 

They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. 

When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” and “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
- Luke 19:28-38

This Holy Week, may we acknowledge, reverence, and receive Jesus as our King. May we rejoice for everything we have seen and have been blessed with in our lives. Like the donkey that carried Jesus into Jerusalem, may we, too, carry Jesus with us with humility, obedience, and great joy wherever we go .

Shalom,
Pastor Don
