Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God…being found in appearance as a man…humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!
(Philippians 2:5-6, 8)

Here I am mightily struggling to humble myself, Jesus

when only a few things don’t go my way

while for me, You humbled Yourself
all the way to death.

If called upon, help me humble myself as You did

because You’re the Giver of Eternal Life!

Pray this Lazaroo in profound gratitude:

“…take the bull outside the camp…”
(Leviticus 4:21)

This was no ordinary bull, Jesus –

it was slaughtered as a sin offering.

You were teaching your people how horrible it was to disobey You:

Something had to die.

You were also preparing them for the day when they would finally realize that a bull wasn’t enough

that our sins could only be paid for

when they took You outside the city

and You laid down Your life for us.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful adoration:

“…by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death – that is, the devil…”
(Hebrews 2:14)

Powerfully ironic, Jesus – and totally unexpected.

When jealous religious leaders crucified You
Satan thought he had won.

But stunningly, it was Your death that defeated Satan!

With Your wholly undeserved death
You paid for the sins of all who put their faith in You

just as when I die to myself
I rise in thrilling triumph over the evil one.
