Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?”
(Romans 2:4)

I can’t keep on sinning, can I, Jesus?

Yes, You’re loving, merciful, longsuffering, forgiving…

but that doesn’t mean You wouldn’t harm a flea.

You’re also powerful, majestic, holy, righteous!

You will not forever tolerate willful sin.

Help me overcome my sin

so I can live the New Life

You purchased for me on the cross!

Pray this Lazaroo in vivid recall:

“Then the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.”
(Leviticus 4:30)

You made him use his finger to touch the blood of this goat, Jesus!

He probably didn’t want to
but that made it personal.

May this remind me of how achingly personal it got for You

for me

on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.”
(Acts 2:23)

Just as You predicted, Peter denied you three times, Jesus.

But not on this day.

He had seen You risen from the dead!

After Your resurrection He had eaten with You
talked with You, listened to You teach.

He saw You rise into the sky as You returned to heaven.

So on this day…

Peter proclaimed Your Word without fear!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…he must bring as his offering a male goat without defect.”
(Leviticus 4:23)

You have a purpose for everything, Jesus!

The goat had to be male because You revealed Yourself on earth as a man.

The goat had to be without defect
because You deserve only our best.

But there’s another reason:

You lived 33 years on this earth and never sinned.
Not once.

That made You the Ultimate Perfect Sacrifice for the sins of the world

including me.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you.”
(Jonah 2:9)

Thank You for putting a song of thanksgiving in my heart, Jesus!

Of course, there are days
when I have trouble remembering where You put it

let alone being able to sing it.

But it’s in there. By faith, I declare it:

It’s in there!

You sacrificed Your life for me.

It is my joy to sacrifice whatever You have entrusted to my care

for You.

 Allow gratitude to flood your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“…on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy…”
(Obadiah 1:17)

And so it was, Jesus –

the place where sacrifices for sins were made
the place Your people gathered to worship
the dwelling place of Your Presence

a deeply holy place –

as are the places where I’ve received Your deliverance.

They’ve become holy to me.

But of all those wonderful places

none are holier to me
than Mt. Calvary

where You won my eternal salvation

on the cross.
