Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death…”
(Colossians 1:22)

It wasn’t fair, Jesus

not even close.

But it was the only way!

Whether we tried with all our might or didn’t
there was not a chance that we could earn our salvation.

We were broke, busted, bankrupt.

Helpless.

It took You and You alone to buy us back

from the devil to whom we had sold ourselves.

Somebody had to pay

and that Somebody
was You.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“I will pay it back…”
(Philemon 1:19)

That was a generous offer, Jesus

seeing as how it was a debt Paul didn’t owe.

It takes love to pay off someone else’s debt –

especially when the cost is great.

You should know

since that’s what You did on the cross for me.

Help me remember that incredible gift

next time I’m tempted to demand payment in full
from somebody who owes me.

Freely I’ve received

freely You expect me to give.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“But if you tell what we are doing…”
(Joshua 2:20)

It’s a scary thing to be at the mercy of what someone else knows, Jesus!

All they have to do is speak
and I’m done.

That’s the dilemma I’m in with You.

You know too much about me.

All the more terrifying

because You’re Prosecutor, Witness and Judge.

My only hope is my faith in what You did for me on the cross

which makes You

my Ultimate Defender.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“He was…revealed in these last times…”
(1 Peter 1:20)

For nearly two thousand years we’ve celebrated Your coming, Jesus!

All of history – and all our hopes –
hinge on the perfect timing of Your arrival.

Before You came, we faced the fact
that try though we might
we could not save ourselves.

Now that You’ve come
we fall on our faces in gratitude
because we don’t have to save ourselves.

That’s what You did on the cross

for all who believe.

Pray this Lazaroo in boundless gratitude:

“You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth…”
(Amos 3:2)

What an honor for the descendants of Abraham, Father!

You passed over nations much more numerous
far more powerful
more famous.

Why?

Because You knew Abraham would do what You told him to do
and pass it on to those after him.

Jesus, thank You for what you did on the cross

to make me – as unworthy as I am –
a member of this amazing family!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful astonishment:

“Their blood will be poured out…”
(Zephaniah 1:17)

How different, Jesus!

When the blood of mere human beings is poured out

they die.

When Your blood was poured out

You died

then three days later

rose from the grave.

Fully man, You bled, grew hungry, became tired.

Fully God, You healed the sick

raised the dead
walked on water
halted storms.

Your innocent blood poured out on the cross

proven infinitely powerful
to save the sinful likes of me.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“You have forsaken your first love.”
(Revelation 2:4)

You’re not referring to a boyfriend/girlfriend, are You, Jesus?

This isn’t about a husband or wife
not about a hobby, sport, possession or profession.

This is about You.

It goes all the way back to the moment I realized You loved me –

forever proved by Your death for me on the cross
when I responded with passionate, white-hot love for You.

If my love has cooled –

unimaginably…inexcusably…

ignite it again!

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted devotion:

“…the priest shall make atonement for them…”
(Leviticus 4:20)

It was awesome of You to provide that, Jesus…

but it wasn’t the best You had in store!

I no longer have to go to a priest to be forgiven.

The priest is no longer required to kill bulls, goats and lambs
to make atonement for my sins.

You became my Lamb.

You gave Yourself – once for all – on the cross
as payment for all my sins

past
present
future.
