Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“If we died with him, we will also live with him…”
(2 Timothy 2:11)

Because of the cross, Jesus

I believe You paid for the sins of my past.
I’m looking forward to living with You in heaven.

But that phrase, “died with him” gives me pause.

“With” You.

Wow.

You mean…right there?

It sounds like You want me to envision

hanging on the cross with You
until, as death to sin engulfs me I cry:

“It is finished!”

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“If we died with him…”
(2 Timothy 2:11)

That’s a disconcerting thought, Jesus

at first.

I mean, the very idea of dying is disturbing.

Having company while I do it doesn’t help a whole lot.

But when I realize that that the One I’m dying with is You

identifying with what You did for me on the cross
and making the irrevocable decision to die to my sins

that’s just about the greatest death
I could possibly imagine.
