Pray this Lazaroo with renewed ambition:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love…”
(Colossians 2:2)

That’s not only what Paul wanted, Jesus

that’s what every mother and father wants for their children
what every pastor wants for Your Church.

How wonderful it would be if cities and nations could be united in love!

But to do that
they’d have to be united in You

which is no doubt why You’ve sent us out
to preach the gospel!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“…I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions…”
(Colossians 1:24)

This has to be one of the most baffling statements Paul ever made, Jesus.

You paid it all!

No matter how much I suffer for You

Your horrific sacrifice on the cross
stands as payment in full for my salvation.

No one else could do it.
Nothing else is required.

But Paul was saying there’s a whole lot of sacrificing that must be done

so others will know.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“Jesus sent him away…”
(Mark 1:43)

Sounds ominous, Jesus…

but this was no rejection.

You had just delivered this man from leprosy!

Now healed, You were sending Him away
with an assignment.

Like him, You’ve forgiven the leprosy of my sin!
Now healed, You’ve sent me away with an assignment:

Tell everyone about You.

But being sent away isn’t as lonely and traumatic as it sounds.

You’ve promised to go with me
while You send me away.
