Lazaroo – Monday, August 30, 2010
No comments, Aug 30, 2010
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with ardent worship:
“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.”
(Ephesians 1:13)
I did hear Your word of truth, Jesus.
It got my attention.
The part about hell scared me.
I realized that’s what my sins deserved.
The part about heaven flooded me with hope.
I realized that’s where I longed to spend all eternity.
The worst part of hearing Your word of truth was facing the fact that I couldn’t save myself!
Then came the good news – the gospel of Your salvation:
You did it for me.
You sacrificed Your life on the cross
paid off my debt of sin
in full
then three days later rose from the grave to prove
You have the power and authority to make good on Your promise:
I’m no longer an outsider!
I’m included –
in You.
