Pastor Joe Cano reflects on the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion, particularly focusing on the triumphant entry into Jerusalem just before Passover. He emphasizes that this was the only time in Jesus’ ministry where He publicly promoted His arrival, fulfilling ancient prophecies from Isaiah and Zechariah. Jesus deliberately orchestrated this moment, sending disciples ahead to retrieve a donkey and colt for His symbolic entry.
Joe draws a parallel between that divine preparation and how God still sets things up for believers today. He encourages the congregation not to be anxious about witnessing or doing God’s work because, just as Jesus prepared the way then, He prepares our steps now—whether we’re at a store, salon, family gathering, or anywhere else. Joe passionately stresses that believers are called to carry the message forward in everyday life.
He also highlights the miracle of Jesus riding a colt that had never been ridden before—pointing to the divine authority and calm Jesus carried even into uncomfortable and risky situations. His overarching message is a call to boldness and obedience, trusting that God has already gone ahead of us.
