Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.”
(Philippians 2:17-18)

That sounds reasonable, Jesus…

until I realize Paul was referring to his coming martyrdom
for sharing his faith.

Paul had made such an impact for You

that Your enemies wanted to kill him for it.

There are many places in this sin-sick world where that can still happen.

If those were my stakes
would I be willing to take that risk for You?

Pray this Lazaroo in overcoming faith:

“Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death…”
(Revelation 2:13)

Oh, Jesus.

My first thought is, “Oh, no! Poor Antipas!”

But then I realize his death took him straight to heaven!

I can feel sorry for his friends and loved ones
but not for him.

My second thought is, “Oh, no! WHY Antipas?”

I mean, You Yourself said he was your “faithful witness.”

But then I envision the heavenly welcome he received

as Your faithful martyr.

Wow.
