Luke 19:28-40
After telling this story, Jesus went on toward Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples. As he
came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples
ahead. “Go into that village over there,” He told them. “As you enter it, you will see a young
donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks, ‘Why are
you untying that colt?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

So they went and found the colt, just as Jesus had said. And sure enough, as they were untying it,
the owners asked them, “Why are you untying that colt?”

And the disciples simply replied, “The Lord needs it.” So they brought the colt to Jesus and
threw their garments over it for him to ride on.

As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him. When he
reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to
shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen.

“Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the LORD!
Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!”

But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying
things like that!”

He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”

We see the surrender of

to the will of the Father.

Luke 19:28
…Jesus went on toward Jerusalem.

Philippians 2:5-7
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ
Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to
be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature
of a servant, being made in human likeness.

We see the will of the

to the will of Jesus.

Luke 19:30
Jesus said, “Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As you enter it,
you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it
here. If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying that colt?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

We see the surrender of

to the creator, Jesus.
