Pray this Lazaroo, overwhelmed with gratitude:

“…the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines. He says, ‘I will destroy you, and none will be left.’”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

It’s one thing to be defeated in battle, Jesus

to be shamed and disgraced
taken captive, reduced to slavery.

But this time it was worse.

The Philistines so infuriated You with their blatant idolatry
that You threatened to annihilate them

leaving no survivors.

That’s what my sins deserve.

But instead of wrath –

through the cross –

You’ve offered me mercy!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.”
(Ephesians 2:15-16)

You’re talking about Jews and Gentiles, Jesus

but this miraculous, peacemaking gift You give
has the power to erase animosity
between any two groups of people.

HALLELUJAH!

There are a couple of groups
I’d really like to see You unite!

Pray this Lazaroo in complete trust:

“…called, ‘uncircumcised’…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

This may be the worst insult of all, Jesus!

It’s another way of saying I don’t belong to You.

If I don’t belong to You
I don’t get to go to heaven.

But circumcision in the flesh never saved anyone.

It was what You commanded Your people to do
to set them apart from the false gods of every other nation.

By faith in You
that’s exactly what You’ve done for me

through the cross.
