Sunday, December 15, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“I hope…”
(Philemon 1:22)

So do I, Jesus!

I have hopes very similar to Paul’s, when he wrote those words.

Like Paul, I envision being able to do some things that seem good to me

but I’m not certain they’re in Your plan.

Of course, You know what’s best.

I don’t.

What seems good to me may be bad…or second-best.
What seems bad to me may turn out to be awesome.

Help me fully, thankfully embrace whichever You choose.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Anyone you forgive, I also forgive.”
(2 Corinthians 2:10)

That’s some statement, Jesus…

and Paul made it to an entire churchful of people!

Not only that, he was extending that forgiveness

to the very person he told them to put out of the church.

Am I willing to forgive everyone my church forgives?

Well…why not?

You’ve made it clear that if I don’t forgive those who’ve sinned against me

You won’t forgive me.

I forgive ‘em all, LORD!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I am not lying…”
(1 Timothy 2:7)

I feel for the Apostle Paul, Jesus.

These people thought so little of him
that he had to defend his own honor as a truthful man.

The worst part about it is that the moment you have to protest:

“I’m not lying!”

…it sounds like you are.

I know. I’ve been there.

The moment those words left my mouth
I felt how unbelievable they sounded.

But You know.
The truth will come out.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…God’s Word is not chained.”
(2 Timothy 2:9)

They threw Paul in prison, Jesus –

chained him like a criminal.

Why? For preaching the good news about You –

that You were crucified for the sins of all who believe
that You rose from the dead three days later
that You’re coming back for Your own.

They wanted to shut him up.

But all they could do was chain the man.

They couldn’t chain truth then

and can’t do it now.

Solomon made that request of his bride, Jesus

do You make that request of me?

It’s certainly possible.

The Apostle Paul makes it clear that everything written in the past
was put in Your Word to teach us.

So why would You want me to show You my face?

You made me.
You already know what I look like.

Oh.

When I show You my face
I’m intimately focused on You.

Pray this Lazaroo with eager passion:

“This is my gospel…”
(2 Timothy 2:8)

I’m no Apostle Paul, Jesus, but this is my gospel, too!

You created everything that is –
heavens, earth, animals, people.

With God as Your Father, You were born to the virgin Mary –
the God-Man who worked miracles, taught like no other.

On the cross You paid with your life for the sins of all believers
then rose to life on the third day.

This is my gospel!

And I’m sticking to it.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face…”
(Galatians 2:11)

Am I seeing this right, Jesus?

The Apostle Paul in a face-to-face confrontation with the Apostle Peter?

That’s not supposed to happen, is it? – for several reasons:

Along with James and John, Peter was one of Jesus’ inner circle.
He was a follower of Jesus long before Paul.
Christians are supposed to be loving and get along!

But this was love, wasn’t it?

Love of the truth.

Pray this Lazaroo in chastened repentance:

“…your people…clasp hands with pagans.”
(Isaiah 2:6)

I guess there are worse things to say about us, Jesus

but not much.

You’ve set us apart

to be examples to those who so desperately need You.

How can they be drawn to You

when they observe our lives
and see no difference?

We aren’t better than they

but You desire to so shine through us
that they see the beautiful things You do

and like us
choose to follow You.
