Pray this Lazaroo in holy recognition:
“…the Jews…killed…the prophets…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)
Yes, they did, Jesus.
When You sent Your prophets to correct Your people’s sins
they were seldom received with open arms –
all too often, with hatred, threats, beatings, imprisonment
…and stones.
But Jews are not the only people who shoot the messenger.
It’s hard to be confronted with my wrongdoing.
I want to lash out at the person who’s in my face
until I drop my pretense and acknowledge:
You’re the One who sent them.
