It is another Passover feast, people begin to gather together, buy gifts and send gift items to loved ones and so on.
Also, can you remember that it was just last year that Jesus rode on a colt through this route and people were shouting ‘’hosanna!’’, hailing Him and spreading their clothes and palm fronds on the ground for the colt to step on; it was also a glorious day for the colt to be used as the Lord’s chosen vessel.
However, do you know what happened just yesterday? That same colt moved majestically through this same path again, looking right and left, but it did not catch anybody’s attention. In fact, it was languishing in a state of disappointment about how the crowd did not hail and honor it this time around, it crossed the path of a truck pusher who poured dirt on it and shouted; ‘’who is the owner of this stupid ass?’’ the colt was enraged and cried aloud; ‘’Have you all forgotten me?! I was the one who carried Jesus and you honored and gave me a royal welcome as He rode on my back. Have you suddenly forgotten? ’’
Then in the midst of these lamentations. It was approached by an elderly Jewish man who said to it;’ have you forgotten that you are just an ordinary colt? The honor you received was all because you carried Jesus on your back, and if you want that honor once more, go and carry Jesus again and stop disturbing both yourself and the rest of us.’ With a great sense of sober reflection, the colt consequently went back home and learnt not to go out on its own orders.
Are you like this colt? ”…for without me, you can do nothing…’’ John 15:5
