They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, some people standing there asked, "What are you doing, untying that colt?"(Mark 11:4, 5)
The story of colt was progressing exactly same as what Jesus had told to two disciples. When the disciples entered into the village there was a colt outside in the street, tied at the doorway. They untied it. Then some people seeming an owner of a colt asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” In such way of writing the author of Mark was delivering the fact that everything was exactly progressing according to what Jesus had said.
This matter is connected to Christianity faith as God’s providence rules over this world. The Bible teaches everything in this world is under God’s providence. He is the only Creator, the sustainer of creation and a completer of creation. Even the event of Job’s misery caused by Satan also happened under God’s permission.
Two facts are crushing here. God is the only superintendant of the world is one side and there are also many things ceaselessly happening in the world which against God’s will is the other. Connecting to today’s content, Jesus who even pinpointed out the person who would say “What are you doing with a colt” would be executed on the cross helplessly without any false was contradicting each other.
Why does God the reality of defining everything seem to abandon evilness of the world? No. God never abandon evil. He deals it with his own way that we don’t realize. At this point, the fact that this world and history is under God’s Providence is right. The problem is we don’t know the ultimate secret yet.
