Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. (Mark 11:9).
This forth entry of our Lord Jesus into Jerusalem from Bethany was on a colt and showed that He was entering as a king. First of all, we have to enthrone Him as King in our hearts, then in the family and lastly in the Church. Then only can we go with boldness and authority to preach the Gospel because we have the heavenly King enthroned within us.
Only when we give the the Gospel with full authority and purity and in all humility can there be any results. We see in Mark 11:8 what great joy began from Bethany and continued into Jerusalem.
Though Bethany was a small village joy came from that place. It is with a small remnant that the Lord will accomplish His purposes these days. Though we are few in number God can do great things through us if we keep humble and obedient. There should be wholehearted and implicit obedience without questioning. Do what He commands you to do. We find that when certain of them nearby asked the disciples what they were doing (Mark 11:5) loosing the colt, they replied that Jesus wanted it, so they let it go. So whatever the Lord demands of you give it quickly and willingly and joyfully and you will find the secret of His power for a triumphant life, a happy home and a living Church.
Always with LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our mighty wonderful Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe and abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
