Lazaroo – Friday, February 26, 2010
No comments, Feb 26, 2010
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in humble adulation:
“‘According to law, what must be done to Queen Vashti?’ he asked. ‘She has not obeyed the command of King Xerxes that the eunuchs have taken to her.’”
(Esther 1:15)
According to law
what must be done to me, Jesus?
I’m a lawbreaker.
I deserve judgment and death.
That’s why I’m pegging all my hopes – past, present and future –
to what You did for me on the cross.
When You died on the cross
I died to the law.
I’m off the law plan –
justified solely by my faith in You
set free from the law of sin and death.
You live in me.
I belong to You.
I am no longer my own.
I give up control of every part of myself
to You.
It is You
who now fulfill in me
every demand of the law
that on my own
I could never meet.
