This sermon explores the spiritual significance of stewardship and the voluntary surrender of personal resources to serve a higher purpose. Drawing on the biblical narrative of Jesus entering Jerusalem on a borrowed donkey, the sermon emphasizes that Christ often utilizes the ordinary possessions, time, and talents of his followers to fulfill divine missions. The text highlights how Jesus maintained total control over His destiny, choosing the specific timing of the Passover to offer Himself as a sacrifice for humanity. Through various anecdotes, including the story of a humble volunteer and the history of a Spanish aqueduct, the pastor warns against the decay of idleness. He concludes by challenging the congregation to identify their own “colt” — the unique gifts they can offer to support the church’s work and bring honor to God.
