Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“If someone brings a lamb as their sin offering, they are to bring a female without defect… the priest shall burn it on the altar…In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 4:32,35)

My sin has to be atoned for, doesn’t it, Jesus?

It can’t simply be ignored.

You are the Lamb that once and for all

paid for my sins

with Your own blood.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son.”
(Luke 1:57)

The miracle baby, Jesus!

John the Baptist – born to an elderly couple who couldn’t have children.

“When it was time,” indeed.

You made them wait that long to have this special child
because he would be the one to introduce You to the world:

as the Lamb of God.

Once he accomplished his purpose, he died.
His time came and went.

As will mine.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing…”
(Mark 1:44)

Back in the day, Your people offered many sacrifices, Jesus.

It was the blood of the animals
that made atonement for Your people’s sins.

But those sacrifices could never cleanse a sinner’s conscience, could they?

Only Your sacrifice on the cross could do that.

No wonder when John the Baptist saw you coming, he said:

“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…making atonement…”
(1 Chronicles 6:49)

The blood of bulls, sheep, rams and goats never really did make atonement for the sins of Your people, did they, Jesus?

You accepted it as though it did
but down deep, we had to know:

It just wasn’t enough.

But You were teaching us, weren’t You?

preparing us
even setting us up

for the day when You, the true Lamb of God

would give Yourself as the ultimate sacrifice
making atonement
in full.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“…Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”
(1 Peter 1:19)

Knowing that You would one day sacrifice Your Son, Father

You commanded Your people to offer lambs without blemish or defect

as atonement for their sins.

Of course, no animal blood on this earth could take away their sins.

You honored their sacrifices because they obeyed
pointing ahead to that day when Your sinless Son’s death

would pay for the sins of everyone who believes.

Oh, Jesus!

Thank You!

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted devotion:

“…the priest shall make atonement for them…”
(Leviticus 4:20)

It was awesome of You to provide that, Jesus…

but it wasn’t the best You had in store!

I no longer have to go to a priest to be forgiven.

The priest is no longer required to kill bulls, goats and lambs
to make atonement for my sins.

You became my Lamb.

You gave Yourself – once for all – on the cross
as payment for all my sins

past
present
future.

 Pray this Lazaroo with immeasurable gratitude: 

“Look! The Lamb of God!”
(John 1:36)

That’s what John the Baptist called You, Jesus.

The moment he spoke those words, no thoughtful Jew could escape his meaning.

For more than 1400 years, Your people had observed the Passover
by sacrificing a lamb to atone for the sins they had committed.

Now You – the Messiah! – had come to sacrifice Yourself

once and for all
for the sins of the world

and for the world of sins

I have committed.
