Pray this Lazaroo in bated breath anticipation:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

This is a fascinating command, Jesus.

Many of us who have trusted You as our Savior
view our salvation as a single event.

We said, “Yes!” to the good news
that You paid for our sins on the cross
and three days later rose from the dead.

But now – oh the excitement!

…to learn there’s more.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“…Christ’s…body, which is the church.”
(Colossians 1:24)

Because I’ve placed my faith in You alone for my salvation, Jesus

I’m a member of Your global Church.

And because I’m a member of the Church You so love

I’m part of Your body!

A very tiny part, to be sure.
A too-often dysfunctional part.

But still – by Your grace alone –

I’m one of the ways You’ve chosen to present Yourself to the world!

Oh, what a holy, sobering, motivating responsibility!

Pray this Lazaroo from a tender heart:

“turn, my lover…”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

Solomon’s bride wants him to turn toward her and love her, Jesus

just as You call us to turn away
from those things that distract us from loving You.

How can I show You my love today?

Certainly, what I’m doing right now, is one way.
So is reading, studying, obeying Your Word in my life.

But it also includes helping others
and sharing Your good news of salvation with the lost.

Be overwhelmed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘…how evil and bitter it is for you when you…have no awe of me,’ declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Awe isn’t an option, Jesus –

not when it comes to You.

When I gaze into the starry nighttime sky or hold a newborn baby

I should be filled with awe over Your amazing creativity
and the miracle of human life.

When I consider my wholly undeserved salvation

I should be overwhelmed in grateful awe for your love and mercy.

Pray this Lazaroo in flabbergasted anticipation:

“…the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.”
(2 Timothy 2:10)

It would have been enough if you had only saved me from hell, Jesus

‘cause at the end of my life
that’s exactly what I deserve..

But no – You’re going to lift me straight up into heaven, too!

The fact that it’s not hell
is enough to make it heaven.

But the experience in heaven You’re designing for me

is one that brings with it eternal glory!

Pray this Lazaroo with discernment:

“…God’s churches…which are in Christ Jesus…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14)

Not every group of people calling themselves a “church”

is a church, Jesus.

Many gatherings of people meeting in buildings with steeples and pews

bear no resemblance to the Church of the Bible
nor do they honor the Bible of Your Church.

Some who sing from hymnals illuminated by light streaming through stained glass

are unacquainted with the true Light
who came into this world to seek and save the lost.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Salvation comes from the LORD.”
(Jonah 2:9)

Okay, Jesus…that’s true!

But not exactly a news flash.
That’s pretty much Your specialty.

But this statement comes from the mouth of the runaway prophet Jonah

from inside the belly of a great fish
who had swallowed him
and was trying to digest him.

So this was a statement of pure faith!

I love that You give those who run from You
the chance to repent, turn around
and run back.

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!
