THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY
Mark 11:2 We find Jesus telling the Apostle’s; “…go into the village and you will find a colt no one has ever ridden.” He was to ride this colt into the village where He would spend the rest of His ministry. Riding the colt was a fulfillment of prophecy. This was actually the beginning of the end of His ministry.
Jesus knew what was to come and yet the love he possessed, the love he had for the sinner, surpassed any selfish reasons he might want to use as a means of escaping the dreaded torture and crucifixion that was inevitable. It had to be and he knew it. We should remember that Jesus was not only the Son of God, but also man. I am convinced He had the same feelings any innocent man would have knowing that He was about to be executed for claiming His rightful position; performing miracle after miracle proving He was God.
This is the kind of God we have; demonstrating a love we cannot understand or appreciate. I pray you might want to get to know Him as so many of us do. May your day exemplify His love.
