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!”

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now I rejoice…”
(Colossians 1:24)

Being able to rejoice in something good is wonderful, Jesus!

But that word, “Now” gives me pause.

Maybe Paul didn’t mean it how it sounds…

but I might infer that only because He liked what he was seeing
could he now begin to rejoice.

But by faith –

You want me to rejoice in You and what You’re doing
every day of my life – at all times!

whether I like what’s happening
or not.
