Lazaroo – Saturday, February 26, 2011
Feb 26, 2011 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with goose bump anticipation:
“But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.”
(Matthew 2:6)
You could have chosen to be born in any of the great First Century cities, Jesus –
Rome
Alexandria
Athens
Syrian Antioch
Ephesus
Corinth
For that matter, You could have waited to make Your appearance in one of the megacities of today –
Tokyo
New York
London
Paris
Mexico City
Hong Kong
But that’s not Your style –
wasn’t then…
still isn’t.
You chose to be born in a small town –
a place called, “Bethlehem.”
You chose to appear when the population of the earth was 200 million
instead of waiting for the seven billion people of today.
Unexpected –
like almost everything else You do.
Be Yourself in my life, Jesus!
Do something…
unexpected.
