Pray this Lazaroo in grateful affirmation:

“…through our gospel…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:14)

It was Your gospel, Jesus – Your good news –

that You left heaven
were born of a virgin
lived a sinless life
worked countless miracles
taught truth as no one else could
died on the cross for our sins
rose triumphant, from the dead
returned to heaven
are preparing a home in heaven for all who believe
will return one day
to establish Your kingdom forever.

Yes, that’s also Paul’s gospel…

and mine.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way…”
(Hebrews 2:17)

I can’t imagine what it meant to give up what You had

to be one of us, Jesus!

The Creator of heaven and earth

restricting Himself to be somebody people could
criticize, mock, ridicule, reject, spit on
nail to a cross and watch die.

That would be like me volunteering to become an ant

only worse.

And You did it

all for love.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity…”
(Hebrews 2:14)

What God is so great as You, Jesus?

There are no other gods.

All the more reason for You to keep Your distance from our messy, inexcusably sinful lives.

But that’s not what You did!

You left Your throne in heaven, clothed Yourself with our flesh and lived among us

until, reacting to Your holiness
we took advantage of Your vulnerability

and crucified You.
