"If anyone says anything to you, just say this, 'The Lord needs them,' and he will send them immediately." Matthew 21:3

Jesus sends some disciples to fetch two donkeys so he can ride into Jerusalem, and if challenged, to say only, "The Lord needs them." As we begin Holy Week, it's good to remember: the Lord needs more than donkeys. He needs us too! He needs us to carry the Easter message of suffering followed by exaltation, death followed by resurrection, despair followed by joy.
