Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with explosive feeling:

“…you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it.”
(Nehemiah 2:20)

That could be said of me, Jesus.

     Who am I to claim Jerusalem as my own?

She doesn’t belong to me.

     I belong to her.

Because of my faith in You alone

     I’m allowed to enter that hallowed ground

          not as a tourist
          as family.

You haven’t given me that unspeakable privilege to keep others out

     but to draw them in

knowing that one day this glorious, ancient city will pass away

     and for all who believe
     the New Jerusalem will become

          home.
