Pray this Lazaroo in humbled gratitude:

“If a member of the community sins unintentionally…he is guilty.”
(Leviticus 4:27)

Wow, Jesus.

That…sounds harsh.

I mean…if a person didn’t mean to do anything wrong…

…You know?

But on second thought, I guess I understand.

Wrong is wrong…whether I knew it or not.
I either did it…or didn’t do it.

Whether or not I meant to do it
it’s still done –

and I’m the one who did it.

I’ll tell you one thing:

I am so GRATEFUL for Your grace!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy introspection:

“…does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the LORD his God, he is guilty.”
(Leviticus 4:22)

No difference between big and small sins there, Jesus.

If I break any of Your commands – no matter how tiny –
I’m guilty.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there’s no difference.

If I lie about my age
that’s not as bad as a mass murderer.

But both – my tiny one and his horrific one –

are still sins…

…and I’m still guilty.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“When a leader sins unintentionally…”
(Leviticus 4:22)

And who is more likely to sin, Jesus?

The leader is on point, taking the majority of the risks.
The pressure is greater, the responsibilities magnified.

With all that going on – even with a diligent leader –
mistakes will be made.

Still, the leader has no excuse.

He or she is guilty. Period.
Correction has to be made…if possible, restitution.

Even then, they still lead – showing the way

for their unintentionally sinning followers.
