Daily devotion – The Lord has need of him….
Luke 19:31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
There is an amazing irony in this statement. That Jesus Christ, Creator of Heaven and earth would have need of something. But He does, for not only did Jesus need a colt of a donkey on which to ride, but He also needed a boat to preach from – Luke 5:3.
He needed some loaves of bread and some fish to feed a multitude – Matthew 15:34.
He needed a tomb to be buried in for three days and then to rise from the dead – Matthew 27:60
Jesus Christ has chosen you and I to be the instruments by which His Gospel is to be spread. Why would He limit it to us? Could it be that He desires for us to share, to partner with Him in what He wants to do here on earth?
Whether its preaching, feeding, giving a glass of water to someone, the Lord has chosen to say, “I need you!”
