Pray this Lazaroo in growing awe:

“‘Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?’ Nathanael asked.”
(John 1:46)

People didn’t think much of Your hometown, did they, Jesus?

It was small – maybe 120-150 people.
Almost everyone in the village was related, from the tribe of Judah.

They were probably trying to hide their royal lineage from King Herod

since he was paranoid about his questionable right to the throne.

But Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would come from there

600 years before Nazareth even existed.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Get up…”
(Matthew 2:20)

Joseph was fast asleep, Jesus, dreaming!

But I guess You knew that
since You’re the one who gave him the dream.

It was good news that he and Mary could go back home from Egypt

now that You had helped the murderer Herod exit this life
and move on to the next.

“Get up!” You told Joseph.

And he did.

Instant obedience.

You really like that in a person, don’t You?
Guess I’d better oblige.

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute trust:

“After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph…”
(Matthew 2:19)

Your mom, Joseph and You had to sit tight, Jesus

until Your Heavenly Father removed the man
who wanted to kill You.

Then Your angel showed up.

In a dream.

That couldn’t have been an ordinary dream!

or Joseph wouldn’t have trusted it.

How will I know if You send an angel to me?

I don’t have to worry, do I?
I’ll know.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered awe::

“…he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under…”
(Matthew 2:16)

No wonder You destroyed this man, Jesus!

He ordered the slaughter of innocents
in an attempt to keep Himself from being overthrown

by You.

To no avail.

When his time came, You took him down
in a manner befitting the ugliness of his evil soul.

As You will do to all evildoers

who fail to sincerely repent.
