Pray this Lazaroo with self-evaluation:

“Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke…”
(Philemon 1:23-24)

Everybody wanted in on the greetings, Jesus.

And no wonder!

Philemon was a wealthy leader in Your early Church
deeply respected by the other believers.

I can’t help but wonder, though…

would they have been as eager to greet a poor nobody?

Would I?

Wealthy leaders receive many greetings.

But warm words mean a whole lot more
to poor nobodies.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.”
(Galatians 2:11)

Peter wasn’t infallible, Jesus.

Nor was Paul, who opposed him.
Nor is any leader, no matter how wise, respected or famous.

Nor am I.

Sooner or later, we all need to be corrected.

But when it’s my turn to be corrected
may it be by somebody like Paul

who opposed Peter to his face
rather than behind his back.
