The Colt Tied

By Carllister Ejinkeonye

Luke 19:29-38

What we are going to look at today is more of a discourse where you will need to participate in either through emails or stopping to ask yourself some questions after each sub topic.  It is one that will make a Christian youth to differ from other youths and qualify him as God’s instrument of change in this generation.

A Tied Colt

Our text talks of a colt that Jesus sent His disciples to get for Him. There are some definite things associated with this particular colt viz.

∙ The colt was tied

∙ No man has ever sat on it

∙ The Lord had need of it 

Let’s begin by considering the last point first. 

The Lord Had Need Of It (Luke 19:29-31).

This point in the life of the Lord Jesus was very important. It was close to the time of His death. Though He had been moving among the people without any recognition so to say, it was time for them to see Him as the Christ, Messiah and “King of the Jews” and so He needed to have a triumphant entry into Jerusalem this time. How was it to be done? By riding on a colt as had been prophesied long before now (Matthew 21:4-9; Zechariah 9:9; John.12:15), hence the statement “...because the Lord hath need of him” to round off the  last phase of His programme in the first advent.

Psalm 1:1-3King James Version (KJV)

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The Christian youth who delights in the Word of God is 

likened to a tree planted by the water side.
