Lazaroo – Saturday, November 20, 2010
Nov 20, 2010 I Lazaroo.
Shake your head in wonder, as you pray this Lazaroo out loud:
“I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.”
(Philemon 1:6)
I don’t know why I’m surprised, Jesus…
but I am.
I would have expected You to reward me for sharing my faith.
Big time.
But not this big.
A full understanding
of every good thing I have in You?!!!
Good grief.
That’s over the top.
Bafflingly unexpected.
At the very least, I would have guessed that full understanding would have come from
a Ph.D. in Theology
plus a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies
not to mention thousands of hours in Biblical research.
But that would have put it out of reach for everybody except a handful of brilliant scholars.
Not Your style.
Instead, You put full understanding where even I can reach
if only I’m willing
to actively share my faith.
