The Bible states in Mark 11:3 that when the disciples were asked why they were untying a colt, they responded, 'The Lord hath need of him.' This illustrates God's sovereignty and His use of ordinary means to fulfill His purposes.
In Mark 11:3, Jesus tells His disciples to say 'The Lord hath need of him' when they unfasten a colt tied by the door. This statement highlights the profound mystery of Christ's incarnation and His need for a humble creature to fulfill prophecy. It does not imply that God is dependent on creation, but rather that He sovereignly chooses to utilize what He created to enact His divine plans. The colt's role is a small yet significant part of God's redemptive work, demonstrating how even ordinary things can serve His purposes.
