Jesus Christ is in Complete Control
Luke 19:28-34
The Triumphal Entry
And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them. And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” And they said, “The Lord has need of it.”
Yes, Jesus came and was crucified. But, that was His plan. Yes, Jesus was scorned and ridiculed. But, that was His plan. Yes, one of His disciples betrayed Him. But, yes, even that was His plan. God has a plan. That plan is to see His Son crucified, buried, risen and coming again. That is His plan. Jesus Christ has the plan down to the smallest detail. Even where a colt is tied up and what the owner of the colt will say to His disciples. This is an amazing truth. God knows everything. Every little detail before it happens. God has the animals in control and the people who own them (of course, if I really believed that I would not be afraid of dogs I don’t know). But, it is true. We can fear and that is natural. We can wonder and that is expected. But, when we lean into God in faith we must come to the knowledge that Jesus Christ is in complete control of the world around us. It is His plan!!
