Jesus traveled from Jericho and was walking toward Jerusalem.  He was coming to the Mount of Olives.  Ahead on the road were some villages, Bethphage and Bethany.  He sent two of His disciples ahead with explicit instructions.  Go into the next village and you will find a colt that is tied.  Untie it and bring it to Me.  If anyone asks you why you are untying the colt, simply say, “The Lord has need of it.”  (paraphrased Luke 19:28-31)

(NASB) Luke 19:32-34 “So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’
34 They said, ‘The Lord has need of it.’”

  What is revealed when the followers of Christ listen to Him (by reading the Holy Bible) and then do what He tells them to do? 

REVEALED:
  Faithfulness – to follow what the Lord God says to do.  [This may mean going places apart from a larger body of believers.]
  When there are criticisms and complaining about you – what are some ways to “handle” them?  Listen, learn and make adjustments which are within God’s will.  With understanding that you are to remain faithful in doing what God has called you to do. 

  Obedience – being obedient in doing God’s will, God’s way.
  Whether you can always “see” the why or the wherefore is not the question, your part is to be obedient to God’s word.

  Preparation – be prepared with the Lord’s words to answer those who question your actions.  [To answer with the Lord’s words is to know what He says in the Bible.] 
  Studying God’s word is imperative.
  Prayer for people, circumstances and yourself is imperative.

  Confidence – Jesus has prepared what He needs to do to fulfill the Father’s will in your life.
  Know that the Lord, He is God.  He knows how He wants you to fulfill His will for you in His plans.

  Rejoice!  Enter into this day with faithfulness, obedience, preparation, and confidence.  Why?  Because “The Lord has need of it.”
