Pray this Lazaroo in sobered awe::

“…he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under…”
(Matthew 2:16)

No wonder You destroyed this man, Jesus!

He ordered the slaughter of innocents
in an attempt to keep Himself from being overthrown

by You.

To no avail.

When his time came, You took him down
in a manner befitting the ugliness of his evil soul.

As You will do to all evildoers

who fail to sincerely repent.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“An attacker advances against you, Nineveh…”
(Nahum 2:1)

Was Nineveh afraid, Jesus?

Maybe not.
Nineveh was a strong, confident, important city.

Besides, they had escaped destruction once before when You sent Jonah to warn them.

They humbled themselves, repented
and You relented.

But they didn’t, this time, did they?

Forewarned is forearmed
only when the warning is heeded.

You’ve warned me in the past, LORD.

I paid attention, straightened up
and You spared me.

Keep me paying attention!

every time.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow…”
(Philippians 1:26)

I long to have that effect on others, Jesus!

to be the bearer of good news
to be used by You to draw others close to You.

Ironically, that sometimes requires me to start with the bad news

that they – like I – are sinners who need to repent
that refusal to repent and believe in Your

death
burial
resurrection

will land them eternally in hell.
