A. They went and found
"So they went away and found"
Catching great number of fish before resurrection of JESUS:
Luke 5:4 (Amplified Bible)
5:4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon (Peter), Put out into the deep [water], and lower your nets for a haul.
When they did exactly what JESUS have instructed the results are:
Luke 5:6 (Amplified Bible)
5:6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish; and as their nets were [at the point of] breaking,
Big catch again after resurrection:
John 21:6 (Amplified Bible)
21:6 And He said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find [some]. So they cast the net, and now they were not able to haul it in for such a big catch (mass, quantity) of fish [was in it].
By faith we follow and quickly obey JESUS's Instructions to us:
Hebrews 11:8 (Amplified Bible)
11:8 [Urged on] by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go.
Mary, the mother of JESUS, finally figured it out.
John 2:5 (Amplified Bible)
2:5 His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do it.
B. Colt tied at the doorway
"a colt tied at the door out in the [winding] open street,"
It was already prepared by the owners. Usually animals in Jerusalem are inside.
Luke 11:7 (Amplified Bible)
11:7 And he from within will answer, Do not disturb me; the door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and supply you [with anything]?
Matthew 21:6-7 (Amplified Bible)
21:6 Then the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
21:7 They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their coats upon them, and He seated Himself on them [the clothing].
Luke 19:32-34 (Amplified Bible)
19:32 So those who were sent went away and found it [just] as He had told them.
19:33 And as they were loosening the colt, its owners said to them, Why are you untying the colt?
19:34 And they said, The Lord has need of it.
John 2:5 (Amplified Bible)
2:5 His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do it.
Hebrews 11:8 (Amplified Bible)
11:8 [Urged on] by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go.
Colt- represents man or woman without the LORD.
1 Corinthians 2:14 (Amplified Bible)
2:14 But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.
Job 11:12 (Amplified Bible)
11:12 But a stupid man will get wisdom [only] when a wild donkey’s colt is born a man [as when he thinks himself free because he is lifted up in pride].
C. They loosed it
"and they loosed it"
JESUS is the Door, we enter Heaven thru Him.
John 10:7 (Amplified Bible)
10:7 So Jesus said again, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that I Myself am the Door for the sheep.
John 10:9 (Amplified Bible)
10:9 I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture.
John 14:6 (Amplified Bible)
14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
Now, we are "in CHRIST"
Philippians 3:14 (Amplified Bible)
3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
Philippians 4:7 (Amplified Bible)
4:7 And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
And, now, CHRIST is "in us"
2 Timothy 1:14 (Amplified Bible)
1:14 Guard and keep [with the greatest care] the precious and excellently adapted [Truth] which has been entrusted [to you], by the [help of the] Holy Spirit Who makes His home in us.
2 John 1:2 (Amplified Bible)
1:2 Because of the Truth which lives and stays on in our hearts and will be with us forever:
We are set free by CHRIST:
Ephesians 1:7 (New Century Version)
1:7 In Christ we are set free by the blood of his death, and so we have forgiveness of sins. How rich is God’s grace,
Colossians 2:20 (New Century Version)
2:20 Since you died with Christ and were made free from the ruling spirits of the world, why do you act as if you still belong to this world by following rules like these:
Hebrews 9:12 (New Century Version)
9:12 Christ entered the Most Holy Place only once—and for all time. He did not take with him the blood of goats and calves. His sacrifice was his own blood, and by it he set us free from sin forever.
Crippled woman set free by JESUS:
Luke 13:16 (Amplified Bible)
13:16 And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?
IX. CONCLUSION:
We are set free by the Truth that we know - that is the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
John 8:32 (Amplified Bible)
8:32 And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.
