Part 5

There is so much happening in John Chapter 12, it’s difficult to bring all of the events following the Bethany resurrection of Lazarus into a 30 minute sermon. But verses 12-19 bring us to the glorious Triumphant Entry of Jesus into the streets of Jerusalem. He gives His disciples specific instructions to locate a donkey and it’s colt and to relay would be the perfect message to the owner of the animals - “the Master hath need of them” and the Lord Jesus (Creator and Word made flesh) knew just what to say to speak to the human heart. And the owner released the animals to the disciples and Jesus rode in on the back of the donkey with its colt in tow. Remembering that Jesus was recently in Bethany at the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus, and that a miracle and an anointing took place there. Where Lazarus was raised from death, and where Jesus would be anointed for His own death.
