“I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face…”
(2 John 1:12)

Not so different from today, Jesus!

Now, Paul might write:

“I have so much to text you…
or email you…

“…but I don’t want to use my cell.”

The message is the same:

There’s just something special
about face to face.

One day in heaven, Jesus…

with You!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep longing:

“I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink.”
(2 John 1:12)

Of course, John didn’t have available what we do, Jesus.

He didn’t have a cell phone.
He didn’t have email or text.
He didn’t have social media, Face Time or Zoom.

No doubt He would have used the living daylights out of those tools!

But something tells me there would still be times for him

as there are today

when nothing but face-to-face will do.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…you will know…”
(Zechariah 2:11)

There’s a lot I don’t know, Jesus

but that’s about to change.

When my life on this earth is over and I stand before You, Face-to-face –

I will know everything I need to know
as fully as You know me right now.

Until that amazing day dawns

I’d do well to remember that I haven’t yet reached that exalted state
especially next time I feel like stubbornly arguing my point

against someone equally deluded.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”
(1 Corinthians 2:8)

It seems so clear to me, Jesus –

why not them?

They saw You face-to-Face, in the flesh!

…while I never have.

They were witnesses to Your miracles!

…while I’ve only read about them.

They heard You speak!

…while I still eagerly long to hear Your voice.

But You’ve granted me

the gift of faith.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face…”
(Galatians 2:11)

Am I seeing this right, Jesus?

The Apostle Paul in a face-to-face confrontation with the Apostle Peter?

That’s not supposed to happen, is it? – for several reasons:

Along with James and John, Peter was one of Jesus’ inner circle.
He was a follower of Jesus long before Paul.
Christians are supposed to be loving and get along!

But this was love, wasn’t it?

Love of the truth.
