Pray this Lazaroo in absolute awe:

“And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask.”
(Ruth 3:11)

Most of the people in this world have never heard such words, Jesus.

Ruth wouldn’t have heard them either
if You had not put them in Boaz’s mouth.

It was Your Will to bring the two of them together

to become Your ancestors through David

all the way down to Your birth in Bethlehem.

There is no one like You.

Not even close.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests’…the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’”
(Luke 2:13-15)

Oh, to have been there in that stunning moment, Jesus –

when the heavens opened!

But the Day is coming

when You will show me far more than that.

Pray this Lazaroo in awed faith:

“In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.”
(Luke 2:1,4)

Did Joseph know that He was fulfilling Scripture, Jesus?

Whether or not he knew
that’s exactly what he was doing.

I love that You prompted Caesar Augustus to do his part, too!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations…”
(Ephesians 3:4-5)

Oh, they knew the Messiah was coming, Jesus –

from the very moment You confronted the serpent
in the Garden of Eden.

Through more than 500 verses of Scripture in the Old Testament

You continued to provide clues
all the way up to Your arrival in Bethlehem.

But not until Your stunning death, burial and resurrection

did the miraculous mystery of who You really are

finally sink in!

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Besides Asahel, nineteen of David’s men were found missing. But David’s men had killed three hundred and sixty Benjamites who were with Abner. They took Asahel and buried him in his father’s tomb at Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men marched all night and arrived at Hebron by daybreak.”
(2 Samuel 2:30-32)

The battle aftermath, Jesus.

Losses on both sides.
Pain. Deep mourning.

Still, one the clear victor.

As always, the one You chose.

Because of You
that’s me.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“He was…revealed in these last times…”
(1 Peter 1:20)

For nearly two thousand years we’ve celebrated Your coming, Jesus!

All of history – and all our hopes –
hinge on the perfect timing of Your arrival.

Before You came, we faced the fact
that try though we might
we could not save ourselves.

Now that You’ve come
we fall on our faces in gratitude
because we don’t have to save ourselves.

That’s what You did on the cross

for all who believe.

Monday, March 28, 2016

 

Pray this Lazaroo in rock-solid confidence:

“Out of Egypt I called my son.”
(Matthew 2:15)

Because of Micah’s prophecy

the people of Bethlehem believed You’d be theirs, Jesus

They may not have liked hearing:

“Jesus of Nazareth.”

Now, Matthew shows Egypt can hold claim on You!

Contradictions?
Hardly.

Your mother was from Nazareth…but because of Caesar’s census

You were born in Bethlehem.

When Herod tried to kill you,

Your parents hid You in Egypt.

In short, You get around!

All the way to me.
