Mark 11:2-3

Rest assured  God controls everything. 
 Every. Thing.

Whatever happens in this life God has allowed it. He uses life events for His purposes…to mold us into the character of  Jesus. The easy way or the hard way, we will learn, what is necessary to bring Him glory.

The deity of Jesus Christ is evident in this passage. It demonstrates His omniscience. It is possible for a donkey on which no one has sat to be very calm and accommodating, but Jesus is also master of all nature and all creatures.

omniscience |ämˈniSH(ə)nsämˈnisēəns|
noun
the state of knowing everything: the notion of divine omniscience | his reputation for near omniscience and infallibility.

In Latin, omnis means "all" and science means “knowing".

More than one-third of Mark’s narrative takes place during a seven-day period—the Passover week when Jesus is finally put to death. Mark’s Gospel has been called a Passion story with a long introduction. His emphasis on the Passion Week is appropriate.

Without this week, Jesus would not have fulfilled his purpose for coming to the earth.

Mark 11:2-3,
He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”
 The New King James Version.


7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” 
Isaiah 56:7

32 And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority. 

Luke 4:32
