When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs them.’ And he will send them immediately.
— Matthew 21:1-3
 

"If anyone says anything to you, just say this, 'The Lord needs them.'"

What could The Lord possibly need? Could The Lord possibly need a donkey, the 'Hosannas,' the palms, the foot washing, the Communion, the garden, the betrayal, the kiss, the arrest, the denials, the trial, the shouts, the crown, the whipping, the nails, the crowd, the seven last words, the last breath, the tomb?

The Lord needs it all.

The Lord needs one more thing to bring him glory, laud and honor.

The Lord needs you this week. The Lord's passionate heart longs for you! I know, I know, it is easy to ask: Could The Lord really need you?

Please do not think this week, please do not think salvation, please do not think grace, please do not think the crucifixion and the resurrection are for everyone except you, as if The Lord keeps his heart on everyone but you, as if The Lord needs everyone but you!

May you believe like never before, you need this week; you are needed this week! May you believe and receive: Everything you need is available this week in Christ alone. The Lord has always made sure, everything he needs he passionately brings close. This week, may The Lord have you!

Let us pray: Jesus, I often wonder what I have to offer. Am I needed? Am I needed by you? Thank you for your grace and for your passionate heart. I praise you and I give you all glory, laud and honor for giving me all I need. I need this week. I need your mercy. I need your unconditional love. I need the cross. I need the tomb. I need to be saved. I need you to keep your heart on me. I need you. In your name, I pray, and I need to pray. Amen.
