Lazaroo – Wednesday, June 23, 2010
Jun 23, 2010 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in stunned recognition:
“I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.”
(Galatians 1:11-12)
Wow.
Oh, wow.
This is what is
stunningly
shockingly
radically different
about following You, Jesus.
Every world religion is woman or man-made.
Everything else out there –
whether sincerely supposed or cynically contrived –
is some human being’s best wild guess about You.
But this good news revealed in the Bible isn’t just one more religion
one more well-meaning but futile attempt to reach up to You.
This is You Yourself
reaching down to us.
That’s why when I read Your Word I’m constantly surprised.
No human being could have made this up!
It’s too unexpected
too wonderful
too real
too…
You.
