The Lord came to this earth and saved from sin those who are childlike. Then what does it mean that He saved such childlike people? It means God saved those who simply believed and followed what the Lord said without any doubt. Those who believe in God whole-heartedly do not have worldly desires. Because they do not have any attachment to the world, they think this way: “What is life? What am I? Where did I come from and where am I going? Why am I living? Do I live to eat? Or do I eat to live? The life that I see from birth through death is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears shortly. Life seems so meaningless. Things that are in this world are meaningless. As the author of the Book of Ecclesiastes said, ‘Vanity of vanities, all is vanity’ (Ecclesiastes 1:2).”

Today’s Scripture passage records an episode that occurred while Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem to be nailed to the Cross. When Jesus reached Bethany, He said to His disciples, “Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’” Having heard this, the disciples went to the village and did what Jesus asked them to do.

The Scripture passage that we read today describes what Jesus said after giving the parable of the minas on His way to Jerusalem to bear the punishment of the Cross. It’s written here: “And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, saying, ‘Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’’” Here, the Lord told the disciples to bring a colt and tell anyone who asks about it, “Because the Lord has need of it.” Let us focus on this part and meditate on the will of the Lord that’s revealed here.
