Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy…”
(Galatians 2:13)

What weak, wishy-washy follower of Yours are you referring to, Jesus?

Oh, wait a minute. I stand corrected.

This was none other than Your chosen Apostle Peter!

the man who was crucified upside-down for his faith.

He was just having a bad day. So were the other Jews.

So have I.

You didn’t give up on Peter when he slipped into hypocrisy…

and you will never give up on me.

Take warning as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…he began to…separate himself from the Gentiles…”
(Galatians 2:12)

Peter was on a roll, Jesus.

Through a powerful vision, You had made it crystal clear:
He was to share Your good news with non-Jews
lovingly including them in Your Church.

But all it took was for Jews who had not had that vision to show up

for Peter to revert to his pre-vision behavior.

What beautiful insights have You given me, LORD?

Am I still walking in Your Light?

Pray this Lazaroo with informed perspective:

“…he began to draw back…”
(Galatians 2:12)

There’s a time to draw back, Jesus –

when I’ve made a mistake.

But sometimes it’s a mistake to draw back.

The great Apostle Peter was making that mistake.

How many times have I drawn back when I shouldn’t have

or failed to draw back when I should?

That’s done. In the past.

You want me to learn from it
not obsess over it.

From now on

may I listen solely to You.

Pray this Lazaroo…thoughtfully:

“Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles.”
(Galatians 2:12)

If the Apostle Peter can be intimidated by so-called “important” people, Jesus

so can I.

The pressure he felt was so great that he actually sinned against the precious people to whom he had been ministering!

Please, LORD.

Help me keep my eyes so firmly fixed on You
that I will never allow anyone – high or low –

to back me off Your Word.

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.
