Pray this Lazaroo in complete trust:

“…called, ‘uncircumcised’…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

This may be the worst insult of all, Jesus!

It’s another way of saying I don’t belong to You.

If I don’t belong to You
I don’t get to go to heaven.

But circumcision in the flesh never saved anyone.

It was what You commanded Your people to do
to set them apart from the false gods of every other nation.

By faith in You
that’s exactly what You’ve done for me

through the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…if you continue in your faith…”
(Colossians 1:23)

Why wouldn’t I continue in my faith in You, Jesus?

Only if I don’t truly believe in You to start with.

Because if I fully accept who You Are –

Creator of everything
the God-Man who came to earth as a baby
my Savior who died for my sins and rose again –

I would never, ever give up my faith in You

any more than You will ever give up on me.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…they realized they were naked; so they sowed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.”
(Genesis 3:7)

That’s what happens every time I sin, Jesus.

First the shame
then the cover-up.

Sin must be covered

because it’s so foul!

I could attempt to cover my sin

with lies, excuses, misdirection
trying to change the subject –

all for naught.

The only way sin can ever be covered

is by sincere repentance
trusting in Your shed blood on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with eager passion:

“This is my gospel…”
(2 Timothy 2:8)

I’m no Apostle Paul, Jesus, but this is my gospel, too!

You created everything that is –
heavens, earth, animals, people.

With God as Your Father, You were born to the virgin Mary –
the God-Man who worked miracles, taught like no other.

On the cross You paid with your life for the sins of all believers
then rose to life on the third day.

This is my gospel!

And I’m sticking to it.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…to present you…free from accusation.”
(Colossians 1:22)

It’s one thing to be clean in Your sight, Jesus.

You know when I’m guilty and when I’m not.

But to think there’s coming a day when I will be free from all accusation –

even coming from those who are accusation specialists?

Wow.

That place must be…heaven! 🙂

But the reality is

the only reason I’m innocent is because You say so –

all my sins eradicated –

by Your sacrifice on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the warriors are clad in scarlet.”
(Nahum 2:3)

So am I, Jesus!

I’m Your warrior against the powers of darkness
clad in the scarlet that stands for Your blood –
the blood You shed for me on the cross

which frees me from the power of sin
brings me near to You
gives me life

allows me to enter the Most Holy Place
in 1on1 relationship with You!

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…make atonement for the sins of the people.”
(Hebrews 2:17)

I’m one of those people, Jesus!

I’m so sorry that You had to make atonement for me.
But I’m grateful beyond words that You did.

I wish the atonement required was only money, service –

anything other than what it actually was:

Your life.

But I couldn’t pay off my own debt!
My sins had bankrupted me.

My only hope was a completely sinless life given in my place.

Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“For there is…one mediator between God and mankind…”
(1 Timothy 2:5)

Once upon a time, Job cried:

“If only there were someone to mediate between us
someone to bring us together
someone to remove God’s rod from me
so that his terror would frighten me no more.
Then I would speak up without fear of him…”

You heard Job’s prayer, Jesus –

the cry of every heart.

From the cross more than 2,000 years later You answered it –

with Yourself.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…he must bring as his offering a male goat without defect.”
(Leviticus 4:23)

You have a purpose for everything, Jesus!

The goat had to be male because You revealed Yourself on earth as a man.

The goat had to be without defect
because You deserve only our best.

But there’s another reason:

You lived 33 years on this earth and never sinned.
Not once.

That made You the Ultimate Perfect Sacrifice for the sins of the world

including me.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…your sins have been forgiven…”
(1 John 2:12)

Are there any sweeter words than that, Jesus?

Not for an habitual, repentant, undeserving sinner like me.

“I love you” are three wonderful words, that’s for sure

but to be loved by one person or a thousand
doesn’t gain me entrance into heaven.

Only what You did for me by giving Your life on the cross

can do that.

What can wash away my sins?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
