Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes and bowls, and the jars for drink offerings; the bread that is continually there is to remain on it. They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover that with the durable leather and put the poles in place.”
(Numbers 4:7-8)

I have to wonder about that scarlet cloth, Jesus.

Did it stand for the blood You would one day shed

to cover my sins?

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…he must bring as his offering a male goat without defect.”
(Leviticus 4:23)

You have a purpose for everything, Jesus!

The goat had to be male because You revealed Yourself on earth as a man.

The goat had to be without defect
because You deserve only our best.

But there’s another reason:

You lived 33 years on this earth and never sinned.
Not once.

That made You the Ultimate Perfect Sacrifice for the sins of the world

including me.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing…”
(Mark 1:44)

Back in the day, Your people offered many sacrifices, Jesus.

It was the blood of the animals
that made atonement for Your people’s sins.

But those sacrifices could never cleanse a sinner’s conscience, could they?

Only Your sacrifice on the cross could do that.

No wonder when John the Baptist saw you coming, he said:

“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

 Pray this Lazaroo with immeasurable gratitude: 

“Look! The Lamb of God!”
(John 1:36)

That’s what John the Baptist called You, Jesus.

The moment he spoke those words, no thoughtful Jew could escape his meaning.

For more than 1400 years, Your people had observed the Passover
by sacrificing a lamb to atone for the sins they had committed.

Now You – the Messiah! – had come to sacrifice Yourself

once and for all
for the sins of the world

and for the world of sins

I have committed.
