Pray this Lazaroo in renewed horror…and gratitude:

“…through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.”
(Colossians 1:20)

The peace with You I now enjoy wasn’t made at a conference table, Jesus.

It wasn’t agreed to with a handshake
wasn’t wordsmithed on a piece of paper.

It was paid in full by You

through Your excruciatingly painful

ugly
wholly undeserved
patently unfair
outrageously unjust
humiliating death

on the cross.

 Pray this Lazaroo, trembling with emotion: 

“Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.”
(Mark 1:41)

Oh, Jesus.

Your touch…

a handshake
Your arm draped around my shoulder

a fist bump
a high-five!

a bear hug that lifts me off my feet
…even to brush against You in passing.

What I wouldn’t give!

Will I have to wait till heaven?

Probably.

But until then…

You’ve touched me in so many other ways
that I know Your first physical touch

will be worth the wait.
