Pray this Lazaroo in holy recognition:

“…the Jews…killed…the prophets…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

Yes, they did, Jesus.

When You sent Your prophets to correct Your people’s sins
they were seldom received with open arms –

all too often, with hatred, threats, beatings, imprisonment

…and stones.

But Jews are not the only people who shoot the messenger.

It’s hard to be confronted with my wrongdoing.
I want to lash out at the person who’s in my face

until I drop my pretense and acknowledge:

You’re the One who sent them.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed wonder:

“Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses…”
(Hebrews 3:3)

Reading those words today seems a no-brainer, Jesus.

But when they were written
most of the Jews would have considered them blasphemous.

Moses was the one through whom You worked miraculous signs and wonders to bring Your people out of Egypt

who led them 40 years in the wilderness
through whom You worked even more huge miracles.

The Jews didn’t know what we do:

It was You.

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.

Sharpen your awareness, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the Jews…killed the Lord Jesus…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

I can’t begin to imagine how much that hurt, Jesus!

…to be hated so fiercely by Your own people.

But not all of them demanded that You be crucified.

Your disciples were Jews.

In the early days, most of Your followers were Jews.

It was the Jewish leaders who deserve most of the blame.

Though not even all of them.

Never let me paint my accusations

with too broad a brush.

Gratefully rejoice as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the exiles from Judah…”
(Daniel 2:25)

Anytime a leader comes across an exile from Judah, Jesus

they’d be wise to give that person a second look.

Your people who’ve been torn from their homeland

still retain Your blessing wherever they go.

I’m blown away that even while You punish one of Your own

You keep blessing them.

I can testify!

Though You’ve had to discipline me countless times

I’m the grateful recipient of more blessings
than I can count.

Take your stand, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
(Revelation 2:9)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus

that true Jews are not merely children of Abraham outwardly
but are those who live by the faith of Abraham
through trust in You alone for their salvation.

May I never become part of any religious group that denies You

as the true Jewish Messiah
who was promised to come to earth

as Savior of the world.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy…”
(Galatians 2:13)

What weak, wishy-washy follower of Yours are you referring to, Jesus?

Oh, wait a minute. I stand corrected.

This was none other than Your chosen Apostle Peter!

the man who was crucified upside-down for his faith.

He was just having a bad day. So were the other Jews.

So have I.

You didn’t give up on Peter when he slipped into hypocrisy…

and you will never give up on me.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…Esther had kept secret her family background…”
(Esther 2:20)

She had to, Jesus.

She was a hated Jew.

There were those who would have attempted to dethrone her –

even kill her! –

if her nationality became known.

But why?
The Jews are Your chosen people!

Perhaps that’s why.

Jealousy plays a part…but there’s more.

Satan was the one behind all the hatred

as always.

He was doing his best to stop the ancestral line that led to You

and utterly failed.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“I will give him…the land he set his feet on…”
(Deuteronomy 1:36)

That’s quite a promise, Jesus.

Of course, Caleb deserved it.

When 10 of the 12 men Moses sent to spy out Canaan returned

only he and Joshua believed You would keep Your promise
and enable the Israelites to take it.

I’m no Caleb, Father.

But with all my heart
I believe You will keep Your promises to me!

Please.

Give me the land You’ve reserved for me.

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.
