Palm Sunday

Are we ready to fetch a donkey for our Jesus?

“Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. If any one says anything to you, you shall say, `The Lord has need of them,' and he will send them immediately.”

Jesus disciples ,when they were asked to do something by their master, they did it without any doubt or hesitation. They did so because they were appointed by the most trusted and supreme and the one who cleared off all their ways to the entrusted job. Jesus cleared the point of hesitation in His disciples mind.”If any one says anything to you, you shall say, `The Lord has need of them,' and he will send them immediately.”This gave them confidence to proceed in their mission. They completely dedicated themselves in the word of Jesus to carry out their mission and fulfill Christ's wish.

Jesus asks each one us to do the same. The Jesus, with whom we walk each day and each time of our life entrusts us with duties like this, duties according to His wish. He clears us the way, He prepares us in all means and asks from us to fulfill it. Are we able to do it without hesitation? Are we able to trust Him completely as the disciples did? Probably our answer will be No. For getting what God really ask from us, we have to go deeper into the Hosanna of our Lord.

The Christ-disciple relationship is presented to the world in the Palm Sunday. Jesus Christ, was walking with the disciples for a long time. From the Gospel voice of the Bible we can see that, in their flaws, doubts, mistakes, confusions, shattering, Jesus were with them, building them day by day in a strong foundation of Fathers love. Jesus grew in them day after day and finally when the disciples were mature in Jesus and God the Father, Jesus asks them to show Him to the world. He asks them to fetch for a donkey. A donkey is a humble, down-to-earth animal that only knows to obey. Upon such a humble creation, Jesus was showed to the world by the disciples in the right time as suggested by God. The world praised Jesus and glorified His name.

In the same way Jesus is walking with us now. When God calls us to fetch Him a donkey, we know that Jesus is strongly built in us and now it is our duty to show Him through us to the world in the right time chosen by God. For this we must allow Jesus to walk with us, grow in us and mature in us, He is the one make us complete, then we will be ready to fetch the donkey for our Lord.

When we are in a specific mission, it may be our family, our job, our state of life, a disease, a handicap or a position,that the God entrusts us into, we must have the confidence that Jesus built in the disciples, we must believe in Him who assigned us the duty. He is sure to clear our way, if we walk through the path that He shows us. This will help us to fulfill the duty according to Gods wish and thus leading to the presentation of our Lords glory for the whole world through us.

In this Palm Sunday, let us reflect our relationship with Jesus. Let us see how much has He grown in us and are we allowing Him to walk with us and build us to the perfection for the right time chosen by God. Let us submit all our missions to Him and be confident in Him and His ways. Let also be the channel of showing Lord to the whole world.Hosanna to the Lord.

"Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."- Mathew 21:9

Lord Jesus teach us to be humble. Help us to realize that You are walking with us always and You are wishing to build us in strong foundation of Gods love and make us perfect for the right time. Let You grow in us and we be reduced. Amen.
