Sharpen your awareness, as you pray this Lazaroo:

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

I can’t begin to imagine how much that hurt, Jesus!

…to be hated so fiercely by Your own people.

But not all of them demanded that You be crucified.

Your disciples were Jews.

In the early days, most of Your followers were Jews.

It was the Jewish leaders who deserve most of the blame.

Though not even all of them.

Never let me paint my accusations

with too broad a brush.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity…”
(Hebrews 2:14)

What God is so great as You, Jesus?

There are no other gods.

All the more reason for You to keep Your distance from our messy, inexcusably sinful lives.

But that’s not what You did!

You left Your throne in heaven, clothed Yourself with our flesh and lived among us

until, reacting to Your holiness
we took advantage of Your vulnerability

and crucified You.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled gratitude:

“…they will taunt you with this mournful song…”
(Micah 2:4)

O Jesus!

I know what it is to be taunted to my face
though most of the time, I suspect

the slams, put-downs and harsh judgments
happen behind my back.

But to be taunted in a song?

one written specifically to publicly ridicule me?

That kind of thing happens among children on the playground

but because some so-called “adults” never grow up
thank You for sparing me that.
