- The Lord Needs it!
- Jesus needs to borrow something, and in this case it was the donkey.
- Not just any donkey, but a donkey that had never been ridden.
- I wonder if the donkey was wondering if he would ever be used?
- Every day, tied up to his post.
- Every day, people walking past him and not even noticing him.
- Every day, overlooked.
- Ignored...
- Unimportant...
- Insignificant...
- I know its only a donkey, but if you bear with me for a minute, we can all learn something from this donkey.
- Because Jesus speaks something very significant…Something "Life Changing”
- "The Lord needs it”
- Jesus’ disciples come and say, “The Lord needs you!”
- And if the Lord can use a Donkey, guess what? The Lord can use you!
- Maybe you’ve felt overlooked.
- Maybe you, yourself at times have felt un-important.
- Maybe you’ve been ignored and at times, insignificant.
- But will you allow the Lord to speak a powerful word to you, today?
- The Lord Needs You!
- Yes, you…with your past mistakes and all.
- You, with your feelings of inadequacy and all.
- You’ve questioned your value and worth and now the Lord comes and says, your past doesn’t define you.
- I’m going to use you in a way that will astonish you.
- In the story, the donkey, which was unridden, gets used in a way that no other donkey had ever been used.
- This donkey carries the Messiah.
- This donkey elevates the Messiah to a point where everyone can see Him and He can see everyone.
- And why?
- Simply, because the Donkey was available.
- Today, Jesus needs you.
- The question is, are you available for Him to use?
- Or are you to consumed with the cares and the worries of this world.
- Jesus needs you to carry His message to people around you, today.
- He has something to say through you.
- Like this donkey, can you put Jesus on display?
- Like John said, in John 3:30, “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
- He must become greater and I’ve got to become smaller.
- This donkey did his job so well that no one noticed the donkey but everyone saw Jesus.
- Can people see Jesus through you? or is all they see is “you”?
- Do they hear about Jesus or do they hear a lot about “you”?
- Today, The Lord, the Creator and our Redeemer needs you!
- He sees great value and worth in you!
- He sees great purpose in you!
- And He has something he wants to say through you.
- He wants you to carry His message.
- Are you available?
- Have a great Monday!
Mark 11: 2 “Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As soon as you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. (3) If anyone asks, ‘What are you doing?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it soon.’”
