Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.”
(Zechariah 3:8)

You, Jesus:

The Branch.
The promised Messiah –

the long-awaited one – the only one –
who could deliver us from our sins.

But You came as You almost always do –

in a way and time we could not have imagined
to pay for our sins with Your own life

in a way we could not have imagined.

Pray this Lazaroo with personal introspection:

“When the news reached the king of Ninevah, he rose from his throne…”
(Jonah 3:6)

That’s rare, isn’t it, Jesus?

Kings don’t usually rise from their thrones
when someone shows up with news.

But this news threatened his city and his own life.

Of course, he could have remained seated
waving it off as preposterous.

But when he heard Ninevah had only 40 days
before You were going to punish their wickedness

down deep, he knew:

They had it coming.
