Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations.”
(Ephesians 2:14-15)

What two groups, Jesus?

The Jews and everybody else –

brought together by faith in You, their Messiah.

When You died on the cross and rose from the grave three days later

You replaced the demands of the law…

with Yourself.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“We who are Jews by birth…”
(Galatians 2:15)

Paul had that honored standing, Jesus.

But those who don’t have hope!

You’ve offered all who are not Jews by birth

the opportunity to become Jews

by rebirth.

In fact, every Jew by birth who desires to make heaven his home

has to become one by rebirth!

That’s hard for a natural-born Jew to accept, Jesus –

until she gratefully acknowledges You as her promised Messiah
in prophetic fulfillment of her Jewish heritage.

On this Easter Sunday, let’s pray this Lazaroo together with unbridled JOY!

“Elisha son of Shaphat is here.”
(2 Kings 3:11)

…and Jesus Son of God is HERE!

O Father! You promised through Your prophets
that the Messiah would come –

and Jesus came!

In the double portion of the spirit of Elijah You granted him,

Elisha worked miracle after miracle.

But NOBODY did what You did, Jesus.

NOBODY has done what You’ve done.

You’re alive! You’re alive! You have risen from the dead!

You rule and reign forevermore!

CHRIST IS RISEN!

CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED!

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 in building anticipation:

“…about whom the prophets also wrote…”
(John 1:45)

The prophets wrote about You, Jesus

because Your Heavenly Father told them what to write.

But most of them had little real knowledge of who You’d really be.

You gave each of them a small piece of the puzzle to share
without ever revealing the whole picture.

It’s up to those of us who’ve come later to fit all the pieces together

until our jaws drop in stunned love and wonder.

Pray this Lazaroo with excitement:

“We have found the one Moses wrote about…”
(John 1:45)

What a thrill that had to be, Jesus!

They’d been waiting 1,400 years for You to appear!

How many generations of Godly Jews had come and gone without getting so much as a glimpse of You?

Phillip, Andrew and Peter were going through this day –

like any other day –

when suddenly, it happened!

there You were!

Miracles of miracles…

I’ve found You, too!

Well, actually –

You’ve revealed Yourself to me.

Pray this Lazaroo in gratitude-filled confidence:

“…he who has established me securely…”
(1 Kings 2:24)

And that You have, Jesus.

You’ve established me securely.

You’ve done it through that very promise You made to King David.

You told him he would always have a descendant to sit on the throne.

When You, descended from the line of David

paid for my sins on the cross
rose from the dead

then ascended back to Your throne in heaven

You established me through faith in You

Eternally.

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 in holy awe:

“Remember Jesus Christ…descended from David.”
(2 Timothy 2:8)

This is kind of a big deal, Jesus.

1,859 years before You were born, Your ancestor Jacob prophesied over his son Judah:

“The scepter will not depart from Judah
…until he to whom it belongs shall come
and the obedience of the nations shall be his.”

Jacob to Judah to King David

…all the way to You.

This isn’t “kind of” a big deal, is it?

It is a big deal.

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting expectation:

“The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob…”
(Nahum 2:2)

This is such awesome news, Jesus!

There was a day when Your people – descendants of Jacob –

were the greatest nation on earth.

Then they turned their backs on you and followed after other gods

forcing You to remove Your hand of blessing from them.

But another day is coming, when Israel will recognize You as their Messiah

as I do now

in anticipation of the Day of Your Splendor.
