Important people. Important things.

"And when they drew night unto Jerusalem ... then sent Jesus two disciples" (to get an ass for Him to ride on) (See Matthew 21:1,2,4,5)

I love the principles behind these verses: meekness, humility, and prophecy fulfilled.

But what I REALLY LOVE about these verses is how they showcase this very important truth:

You don't have to be "important" to do important things.

The donkey was a fulfillment of a prophecy that would be read by billions of people. It was important, vital, that it happened. And yet, Jesus asked two nameless disciples to get it. Not Peter or James or John.

But two of His followers that weren't even named.

I think we often feel unimportant. Maybe we aren't popular or have a "notable" calling or job. Maybe we wonder if we have any value or if anyone sees us, even God.

But, these verses tell us we matter.

Regardless of how we are seen or how we feel. God and Jesus know who we are and can use us for Their purposes (which are always important) because of exactly who we are right now.

I Love this! Though we may not feel important, we are all important to Him. Always.
