Lazaroo – Thursday, October 22, 2009

2 comments, Oct 22, 2009


Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with excuseless humility:

“So [Jesus] became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.”
(Hebrews 1:4)

How far superior are You, Jesus?

I’m guessing infinitely superior.

You’re God.

They’re not –

even though Your holy angels are somethin’ else.

They can take on the appearance of a human being…

or they can reveal themselves in such brilliance that knees buckle as strong men faint dead away.

But for all that, You leave them in the dust.

They’re no match for You.

Not even the archangel Michael –

who defeated Satan and his angels in the great battle of heaven

nor the angel Gabriel –

who told Your virgin mother she would give birth to You.

Though their names are great

Yours remains the only Name

before whom every knee in heaven, on earth and under the earth

will bow.

    Pastor Steve:

    Thanks for making Jesus more and more personal to me.
    Thanks for helping me think outside the box/opening up God’s Word to me — more and more. Thanks for helping me stop and think about what is really being said rather than just reading over it.
