Pray this Lazaroo with mounting faith:

“When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble?”
(Amos 3:6)

Well, no, Jesus.

Not much anymore. At least, not in my city.

When a trumpet plays taps at a funeral

we’re usually sad…but seldom tremble.

These days, trumpets are happy instruments

bringing bright, brassy sounds to bands, orchestras, concerts.

But back in the day, the sound of a trumpet in the city

meant the enemy was attacking.

And one day Your trumpet

will melt hearts.

Pray this Lazaroo in sudden awareness:

“…refusing to be comforted…”
(Matthew 2:18)

When the pain is that great, Jesus…

only then does someone refuse to be comforted.

It’s hard on their friends and family, who desperately want to help.

But far harder on the one who grieves.

The words, gestures, offers to “let me know if you need anything”

are not only useless

they’re offensive –

as if such things could somehow lessen the agony.

Is that how You felt, Father

when they crucified Your Son?
