They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.
Matthew 21:7
Matthew mentions both donkeys in part because it is another picture of the reunification of Israel and Judah. The coats represent the Disciples' authority over the two houses, but beneath the King.
For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 6:14 ESV
Sin has dominion over those who are under law. Being “under law” is the same as being under the dominion of sin. If you are an unrepentant sinner, then you are under law. If you have repented of sin and been forgiven, then you are set free from the dominion of sin and are no longer under law. This doesn’t mean that the Law is no longer a guide to righteous behavior as v15 states plainly, but that it no longer has authority to condemn you.

A thought just crossed my mind, if we (not living in Israel) can't determine Abib 1 as we are for all practical reasons on a long journey and can't view the Abib barley, shouldn't we then be keeping the second Passover?
Num 9:10 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If anyone of you or your posterity is unclean because of a corpse, or is far away on a journey, he may still keep the Lord’s Passover. 11 On the fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they may keep it. They shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
This should then address the need to look at other signs as the date will be confirmed...

Leviticus 23:9—11, “And the LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘When you enter the land that I am giving you and you reap its harvest, you are to bring to the priest a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest. And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD so that it may be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.” Firstfruits is not simply the first barley harvested in the spring but the very best of the first part of the harvest.

Mothers, remember, teenagers always “know” better than their parents. Teach them that self-knowledge prevents them from becoming self-satisfied. (Prayer: Father, help my children to humble themselves before You, so You can teach them through Your Holy Spirit what You wish them to become, amein)
