Pray this Lazaroo in sold-out surrender:

“If a member of the community…does what is forbidden…”
(Leviticus 4:27)

Sadly, Jesus…

who hasn’t?

I have.

Everyone I know has.

You say the same:

There’s no one righteous, not even one.

But things can’t stay that way, can they?

Sin has to be atoned for.

Either the sinner pays
or someone with sufficient means

has to pay it for them.

Which is exactly what You did on the cross
for everyone who puts their trust in You.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…make atonement for the sins of the people.”
(Hebrews 2:17)

I’m one of those people, Jesus!

I’m so sorry that You had to make atonement for me.
But I’m grateful beyond words that You did.

I wish the atonement required was only money, service –

anything other than what it actually was:

Your life.

But I couldn’t pay off my own debt!
My sins had bankrupted me.

My only hope was a completely sinless life given in my place.

Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…making atonement…”
(1 Chronicles 6:49)

The blood of bulls, sheep, rams and goats never really did make atonement for the sins of Your people, did they, Jesus?

You accepted it as though it did
but down deep, we had to know:

It just wasn’t enough.

But You were teaching us, weren’t You?

preparing us
even setting us up

for the day when You, the true Lamb of God

would give Yourself as the ultimate sacrifice
making atonement
in full.
