Connect Exodus 13:13 With Job 11:12
The Lamb Jesus Was Sacrificed And Redeemed The Wild Mules
Let's connect Exodus 13:13 with Job 11:12 and learn why the Lamb Jesus was sacrificed and redeemed the wild mules. Exodus 13:13 tells us And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a Lamb. In other words, the wild mules were bought (redeemed) and set free from sin by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus who was sacrificed on the cross of Calvary. According to Job 11:12 the wild mules that were redeemed from sin are lost sinners that need salvation from our Lord Jesus. Job 11:12 says For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt (needing to be born again and saved by faith in our Lord Jesus).
Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. All people are born sinful like wild mules needing salvation and redemption from the Lamb (our Lord Jesus). All men are born like a wild ass's colt with no hope in this lost world. But the good news is that with the Lord Jesus you can receive peace and salvation and overcome this troubled world. Jesus said at John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace; In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Right now get saved and let the Lord Jesus set you free; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess Jesus to be God, and believe in your heart that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.
Peggy The Stubborn Army Mule
Lost Sinners Are Like Wild Stubborn Horses Or Mules
Needing Salvation From Jesus
Lost sinners are like wild stubborn horses or mules needing salvation from our Lord Jesus. Without Jesus, a lost sinner is like a wild dangerous horse that is out of control. Personally, Brother Bob doesn't trust three animals (horses, snakes, and sharks). Horses, snakes, and sharks are unpredictable, dangerous, and lack common sense. I stay clear and far away from these animals. Psalm 32:9 warns us about stubborn and wild horses saying Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. Lost sinners without Jesus are like these wild stubborn horses and mules that need Jesus to calm and save them.
Read the following notes from Peter Ruckman how horses and mules are unpredictable like lost unsaved sinners. According to Psalm 32:9 instead of having horse sense, the wild horse hasn't got any sense, is stupid, dangerous, and is unpredictable. Horses charge into automatic weapon fire; Horses will not lie still long enough to heal a broken leg; A horse will kill his own master by accidentally kicking him. A horse doesn't have enough sense to whinney (neigh) on a cold freezing day. And if a horse gets scared by a butterfly or a rolling hat, he'll buck and throw any rider. Finally a runaway horse hitched to an abandoned wagon or stage coach doesn't even have enough sense to slow down.
Pictured above we see Peggy: A perfect example of a stubborn wild mule
On a grave north of Rome Italy you can find a tombstone set up by the US Army in 1945 that says Here lies Peggy, an army mule who during her lifetime before she expired kicked one general, two colonels, three majors, five captains, seven lieutenants, thirty enlisted men, and one land mine. The land mine did Peggy in and resulted in death. And friends everywhere remember that without Jesus the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 tells us For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Don't be a wild sinful mule like Peggy destined for death; Get saved today with Jesus and receive peace and eternal life.

Two Stories About A Wild Horse And A Jackass
1) They asked a cowboy lying on the ground What happened?
The cowboy said I was riding my horse and when we came to the crossroads
I wanted to go left and the horse wanted to go right
So the horse tossed me for it
2) A prophet who disobeyed God by eating with a false prophet
died while riding a jackass after meeting a lion
The moral of this story at 1 Kings 13:24 is
A jackass is safer in the presence of a lion than a backslid preacher
Why Jesus Rode A Wild Mule Colt Tied By The Door
Without In A Place Where Two Ways Met
Since the Lamb Jesus needs to save and redeem lost wild mule sinners, take a few minutes to read why Jesus rode a wild mule colt during His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. Mark 11:1-6 tells us And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He (Jesus) sendeth forth two of His disciples. And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied whereon never man sat; loose him and bring him. And if any man say unto you Why do ye this? Say that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. And they went their way and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met and they loose him. And certain of them that stood there said unto them What do ye loosing the colt? And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded and they let them go.
Remember that the wild mule colt represents a lost sinner that needs salvation from Jesus. Notice that that the colt was tied whereon never man sat. Unsaved sinners like this colt are tied and bound by liquor, drugs, sex, money, and the devil. These lost sinners need to believe that the Lord Jesus can free them from their self righteousness by trusting Jesus to save their souls.
Only Jesus Can Loose And Set Free A Wild Stubborn Mule Sinner
Next Jesus told his disciples to loose the colt and bring him to me. Only the Lord Jesus can loose, save, and set free wild stubborn mule sinners. Pictured above notice that before anyone is saved, a lost sinner is like a wild mule tied to a post by a rope. When the lost sinner tries to walk away from their sinful past without Jesus, the rope pulls them right back into sin.
But after salvation, Jesus takes a pair of scissors, cuts the rope, and looses the sinner where the lost wild mule sinner no longer feels the pull of sin. The post that represents the flesh and our sinful past still exists but with Jesus the flesh post no longer has an irresistable pull. Now with Jesus after salvation, saved saints can resist the sinful temptations of this world by prayer, memorizing the Word of God, and by attending church where saints praise our Lord Jesus.
Next notice that after the colt was loosed, Jesus said bring the colt to me. Remember only Jesus (not Buddha or Mohammed) can save a lost sinner. Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. After salvation we joyfully sing We have heard the joyful sound, Jesus saves Jesus saves. No one sings We have heard the joyful sound Buddha saves Buddha saves or Mohammed saves Mohammed saves. Buddha or Mohammed couldn't save anyone. Hebrews 7:25 proclaims Wherefore He (Jesus) is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him (Jesus), seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Why The Colt Was By The Door
Without In A Place Where Two Ways Met
Next notice where the disciples found the unsaved wild mule sinner. This unsaved sinner colt was by the door (that is Jesus) without in a place where two ways met. Remember lost sinner, the door Jesus is available now for you to be saved and set free from sin. Jesus said at John 10:9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture. Either you go through the door Jesus and get saved by faith or you don't go through the door Jesus and go to hell. It's simple; Trust Jesus and go to heaven; Trust anything else and go to hell.
How A Catholic Priest Tried To Recruit Sinners
A Catholic priest tried to get a sinner to join the Catholic church. He told the sinner you need to join the Catholic church instead of the Baptist church because the Catholic church with saint Peter has the keys to the kingdom. You oughta join a church that's got the keys. The sinner replied Ah shucks boys, I don't need those keys, I got the door and joined a Baptist church.
Next we see that the colt was without in a place where two ways met. This shows us that unsaved colt sinners have to choose between two ways (a broad way or a narrow way). Matthew 7:13-14 says Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
The false broad way is boasting about your good works that cannot save you and leads to hell. The narrow way is to get saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross of Calvary. A lady once told me Well we're all working our way to get to the same place. I replied and you're gonna get there if you ain't careful. You don't work your way to heaven; You by faith believe what Jesus did for you on the cross of Calvary to get to heaven. Then you do good works after salvation which will be rewarded by Jesus at the bema judgment seat immediately after the rapture.
Remember unsaved lost sinner colts have to choose between two ways. One way is Do Do Do and ends up in hell. The other way is Done Done Done by Jesus at the Cross of Calvary and ends up in heaven. One way is you try to do it and stay lost in hell; The other way is you let the Lord Jesus do it by faith and be saved forever in heaven. One way is you work and you work and you work and hope for the best while you remain lost going to hell; The other way is you just trust what Jesus Christ did for you at the cross of Calvary and end up in heaven. There are only two ways; Your way or God's way. Make the choice today. Trust Jesus by faith to save you instead of your own good works. Ephesians 2:8 says For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Good Works Without Jesus Won't Save Anyone
All Our Righteousnesses Are As Filthy Rags
Notice the following two scriptures that prove without Jesus, man's good works and self righteousness won't save anyone. Isaiah 64:6 says But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses (good works) are as filthy rags and we all do fade as a leaf and our iniquities, like the wind have taken us away. And Psalm 39:5 tells us Behold thou hast made my days as an handbreadth, and mine age is as nothing before thee; verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity; Selah.
In other words my good works can't get me to heaven; my ministry can't get me to heaven; My prayer life, my bible reading, and my church attendance can't get me to heaven. Nothing can save me but the blood of Jesus Christ. What can wash away my sins; Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Dr. Ruckman once told a lady Are you ungodly? The lady replied Oh my No No No I'm not ungodly. Dr. Ruckman then said That's very unfortunate. The lady said Why is that? Dr. Ruckman told her Because Jesus died for the ungodly (not the godly). Romans 5:6 says For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
A Story About Two Mules Named Buck And Jerry
Pulling An Old Wagon With Two Boys
The Old Wagon Represents Religion And Good Works
The Two Mules (Buck and Jerry) Represent Faith In Jesus
Two boys were trying to get to town in an old wooden wagon with two mules named Buck and Jerry pulling the wagon. An old man laughed at the boys and said that old wagon's not gonna get you to town. The boys replied We ain't counting on this wagon to get us to town; We're counting on Buck and Jerry to get us to town. In other words, I'm not counting on religion or good works to get me home. I'm counting on Jesus Christ to get me home to heaven.
Remember Jesus Said He Hath Need Of You Unsaved Wild Mule Sinner
Notice that Jesus told his disciples that He has need of unsaved wild mule sinners. In other words Jesus is looking for lost sinners who will get saved and become available to preach and witness everywhere saving souls for our Lord Jesus. In other words Jesus is saying it's not about a person's ability, but it's about a person's availablity to serve our Lord Jesus. Neal Maxwell said God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, He will increase our capablility.
Just become available and willing to witness for Jesus; If you become a willing vessel that Jesus can work through, Jesus will give you many opportunities to witness and tell everyone how to get saved. Like Brother Bob write something on this internet that will encourage and save souls for our Lord Jesus. Jesus needs lost wild mule sinners to preach and witness everywhere. If Jesus can use Balaam's wild mule to rebuke Balaam and help Samson defeat the Philistines with the jawbone of an ass, Jesus can use lost sinners who are available and willing to work for Jesus.
Finally, notice that at Mark 11:7 it says And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him, and He (Jesus) sat upon him. Remember we need to let Jesus control and make decisions in our lives while he rides in the saddle as the Lord of our lives. Unfortunately some people got this backwards and don't allow Jesus to ride and control them, while they make their own selfish decisions. Remember Philippians 4:6 says Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplicaton with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. In other words don't react to problems by making decisions without asking Jesus by prayer. Instead tell Jesus everything before you make a decision and wait for the peace of God before you make life changing decisions.

My Last Funny Story About A Wild Sinful Horse
An old drunk had his horse hitched up by a saloon. Some thieves stole the horse and tied up one of their buddies to the hitching post where the horse was. When the drunk saw the man hitched up where his horse used to be, he said Who are you sir? The thief said I have been your faithful horse for these many years; I had a curse put on me for drinking and God turned me into a horse. I had to be a horse for two years and now my time is up and I'm free. Would you please let me go? The drunk said Sure I'll let you go and took the bridle off the thief and let him go. And two weeks later that drunk was at a horse auction and saw his old horse tied up to a post to be sold off. The drunk looked at that horse and said Uh huh sinning again Huh.
I have truly enjoyed writing this bible study today. I pray in Jesus name that it blesses multitudes all over this earth with great joy, peace, and strength. Remember only what we do for Jesus lasts.
