Pray this Lazaroo with straightened priorities:

“I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?”
(Galatians 3:2)

If there was ever a rhetorical question, Jesus

this is it.

Paul knew the answer!

He devoted his entire life to sharing the good news
that while no one is good enough to earn heaven
You paid our sin debt with Your life on the cross

for all who truly believe.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…make atonement for the sins of the people.”
(Hebrews 2:17)

I’m one of those people, Jesus!

I’m so sorry that You had to make atonement for me.
But I’m grateful beyond words that You did.

I wish the atonement required was only money, service –

anything other than what it actually was:

Your life.

But I couldn’t pay off my own debt!
My sins had bankrupted me.

My only hope was a completely sinless life given in my place.

Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo in unchecked adoration:

“…the precious blood of Christ…”
(1 Peter 1:19)

Your blood is precious to me, Jesus

because it took the place of mine

because all of my blood
couldn’t have paid my sin-debt even as much

as one drop of Yours

because I fully deserve to bleed and die
for my inexcusable offenses against You

while You do not –
not for Your own –
and certainly not for mine.

May I never forget the price You paid

to save my soul.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the power of God:

“…it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed…”
(1 Peter 1:18)

“It’s all about the money.”

That’s what people say, Jesus.

They may be right about some things
but they’re wrong about the one thing that matters most:

my eternal salvation.

No amount of silver or gold could pay the sin debt I’ve accumulated over my lifetime.

The cost of my redemption was unjust, unfair – outrageous:

Your blood, shed on the cross.
