Pray this Lazaroo in head-shaking amazement:

“…a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.”
(1 Timothy 2:7)

We’re talking nothing short of a miracle, Jesus!

…that You called Paul, a passionate, Gentile-despising Jew
to be the apostle to the Gentiles.

When Paul announced to his people that You had sent him to the Gentiles

they immediately tried to kill him.

But today, Gentile believers passionately love and support the Jews

and demand that their leaders defend Israel
against all who want to annihilate them.

Take warning as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…he began to…separate himself from the Gentiles…”
(Galatians 2:12)

Peter was on a roll, Jesus.

Through a powerful vision, You had made it crystal clear:
He was to share Your good news with non-Jews
lovingly including them in Your Church.

But all it took was for Jews who had not had that vision to show up

for Peter to revert to his pre-vision behavior.

What beautiful insights have You given me, LORD?

Am I still walking in Your Light?

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with thanksgiving:

“They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.”
(Galatians 2:9)

How many times have I looked at the assignment You’ve given someone, Jesus

and thought, “I wish You had sent me there!”?

But how often have I looked at where You’ve sent someone else

and thought, “I’m so very glad that’s not me!”?

May I never second-guess Your calling, LORD!

You alone

know what You’ve put me on this earth to do.

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.”
(Hebrews 2:16)

I don’t know how crazy the angels are about that statement, Jesus

but the Jews have to like it a lot

those who truly are Abraham’s descendants, that is –

not those who are merely his biologically
but those who live by the faith of Abraham

who took You at Your Word
no matter what the cost.

On that basis

please consider me a descendant of Abraham.
