What is being offered to you today? Many people work to be offered a raise, a promotion, a job. Anxious thoughts, angry emotions, or even fear fills the possibilities which life offers.

Christ Jesus, the Messiah, came to offer you life and to offer you His peace. (NASB) Philippians 4:4-7 “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

When we follow His instructions His peace does go beyond our comprehension. Peace is given in spite of whatever fills our mind and heart and/or circumstances.

(NASB) Matthew 21:1-3 “WHEN THEY had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

2 saying to them, “˜Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me.

3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, “˜The Lord has need of them,”™ and immediately he will send them.”™”

Jesus had come to fulfill God”™s work for Him ““ perhaps Jesus had secretly pre-arranged His transportation into Jerusalem. Why the secrecy? The Jewish religious leaders were looking for opportunities to arrest Him (See John 11:55-57). Jesus kept a low profile until He triumphantly entered Jerusalem (See John 11:54).

(NASB) Matthew 21:6-7 “The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them,

7 and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on the coats.”

When we follow Jesus”™ instructions

we may not fore see

all the results of our obedience.
