Pastor Samuel Rodriguez of New Season Church in Sacramento, California, reflects on Luke 19:30 and how this verse offers a lesson for all during the season of Lent, ahead of Easter.
'Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here' . This Bible verse is from the Gospel of Luke, one of the three synoptic Gospels, and is an excellent lesson to remember during the Lenten season as Easter approaches, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez told Fox News Digital.
This message, illustrated through the simple act of fetching a donkey for Jesus, speaks volumes about how we should live our lives,' he said. 'It's as if we're being told that our progress, our journey to embrace God's gifts, relies on us listening and actively engaging with His plan.' 'This direction to seek out a donkey, tied up and waiting, symbolizes the promise of what's to come, not what we've left behind,' said Rodriguez.
The donkey, tied up and waiting, is emblematic of 'the new experiences and blessings that we can claim by following God's path.' He added, 'Just as the followers of Jesus were told to untie the donkey, we're encouraged to unlock the blessings God has set aside for us.
Let's untie the donkeys in our lives, venture into new ‘villages’ and lay claim to God's promises with faith and joy,' said Rodriguez. By doing this, humanity will 'not only experience God's provision and breakthroughs in our lives but also become channels of His glory, shining His light for all to see.'
