Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
(Colossians 2:2-3)

When I have You, Jesus

I’ve got it all.

Everything God has, You have –

because You’re God
and God has everything.

Speaking of which:

You have me!

I’ve given myself to You, body and soul
past, present and future
nothing held back!

Which means I will always have everything I need
because I will always, always, always have You.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery…”
(Ephesians 3:9)

This isn’t only Paul’s assignment, Jesus

it’s mine, too.

Your good news isn’t hard to tell.

But it is hard to explain.

Why would the God of heaven come to earth as a man

and give Your life on the cross to save a wretch like me?

There’s one explanation and one explanation only:

You love us with a depth, passion and ferocity

that none of us can begin to comprehend.

Remember! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate before Daniel and paid him honor and ordered that an offering and incense be presented to him. The king said to Daniel, ‘Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.’”
(Daniel 2:46-47)

Everything this king said about you is true, Jesus.

But in time, he forgot
and paid a horrific price.

May I never, ever, ever forget!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the mystery of Christ…has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.”
(Ephesians 3:4-6)

This is stunning news, Jesus!

For eons, the Jews alone were Your chosen people.

But now, everyone who trusts in You

through Your death, burial and resurrection

belongs to You!

But even better –

You belong to them!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations…”
(Ephesians 3:4-5)

Oh, they knew the Messiah was coming, Jesus –

from the very moment You confronted the serpent
in the Garden of Eden.

Through more than 500 verses of Scripture in the Old Testament

You continued to provide clues
all the way up to Your arrival in Bethlehem.

But not until Your stunning death, burial and resurrection

did the miraculous mystery of who You really are

finally sink in!

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
(Colossians 1:27)

Absolutely, Jesus!

A rich, glorious, glory-anticipating total mystery
that I gladly embrace with all my heart

to the very marrow of my bones:

You!

The Creator of the universe and everything in it
King of kings and LORD of lords
Savior of everyone in the world who believes

living in me!

Oh, HALLELUJAH!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than anyone else alive, but so that Your Majesty may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind.”
(Daniel 2:30)

You gave Daniel the ability to interpret dreams, Jesus.

That could have gone to his head.

But it didn’t.

He gave all the glory to You.

Though I’m no dream interpreter
that’s exactly what I intend to do!

Get ready! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.”
(Colossians 1:26)

We of this generation are blessed beyond words, Jesus!

Sometimes we feel sorry for ourselves
wishing we had seen the parting of the Red Sea

longing to have sat in the crowd of 5,000
You miraculously fed with the loaves and fishes.

But You save something special for every generation of Your people!

Will ours be the Rapture?

Let the goose bumps multiply, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations…”
(Colossians 1:26)

You revealed so much to Your kings and prophets, Jesus –

to Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Isaiah –

but You saved some of Your best stuff for Your Church.

For me.

Everything You did in the past was pointing to this!

May I never be jealous of what they had back then, Father.
Because today – with You in me and I in You –

I’m livin’ the dream.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.”
(Daniel 2:28)

Yes, there is, Jesus!

You understand every mystery that baffles us.

You’re the Creator of all.
You’re the Creator of all mysteries.

But as true as that is, that’s not what Daniel said.

He said you reveal mysteries!

Oh, Hallelujah!

Dear God:

Would it please You to reveal to our scientists
the mystery of this Coronavirus that has us by the throat?

Please.
We beg You.
