Pray this Lazaroo in humility:

“When he is made aware of the sin he has committed…”
(Leviticus 4:28)

That’s a telling moment, isn’t it, Jesus?

What’s my response when I find out
I’ve unintentionally done something wrong?

Do I deny it and refuse to take responsibility?
Do I come up with every excuse I can think of?
Do I react with anger against the person who confronts me?

Or do I repent wholeheartedly
and do everything in my power to make it right?

Pray this Lazaroo in holy recognition:

“…the Jews…killed…the prophets…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

Yes, they did, Jesus.

When You sent Your prophets to correct Your people’s sins
they were seldom received with open arms –

all too often, with hatred, threats, beatings, imprisonment

…and stones.

But Jews are not the only people who shoot the messenger.

It’s hard to be confronted with my wrongdoing.
I want to lash out at the person who’s in my face

until I drop my pretense and acknowledge:

You’re the One who sent them.
