But We See Jesus
The Phaneroo Devotion: But We See Jesus
Apostle Grace Lubega
Hebrews 2:8-9 (KJV); Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
God has put all things under your feet. By Christ, you have authority and dominion in the affairs of life.
This power notwithstanding, you may examine your life and realise that it does not testify to this authority. For example, you may be going through a circumstance that makes you seriously question the fact that God has made you a victor.
This is the paradox our theme scripture points to when it says, “For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.”
If the events in your life seem contrary to the fact that power and dominion belongs to you, what do you see? Do you see the sorry state in which your business is? Do you see how broken your marriage is? Do you see how quickly your ministry is spiralling downwards? Do you see your deteriorating health?
Paul tells us who we must see. He says, “But we see Jesus.”
Take your eyes off the failure, see Jesus. Take your eyes off the bad doctor’s report, see Jesus. Take your eyes off the pain of betrayal, see Jesus.
Turn your eyes upon Him. When you do, the pain, the suffering or the loss does not merely grow strangely dim, it vanishes in the light of His glory and grace.
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 12:2, Colossians 3:2-4
GOLDEN NUGGET: Take your eyes off the failure, see Jesus. Take your eyes off the bad doctor’s report, see Jesus. Take your eyes off the pain of betrayal, see Jesus.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. You are my ever present help in time of need. I look to You and as I do, I see life through the eyes of Your truth. Nothing is too hard for You. I know that greater is He who is in me than he that is in the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Abaebbulaniya 2:8-9 (KJV); Wateeka ebintu byonna wansi w’ebigere bye. Kubanga mu kuteeka ebintu byonna wansi we teyaggyako kintu obutakiteeka wansi we. Naye kaakano tetunnalaba bintu byonna nga biteekeddwa wansi we. Naye tutunuulira oyo eyakolebwa okubulako akatono okuba nga bamalayika, ye Yesu, olw’okubonaabona okw’okufa ng’assibwako engule ey’ekitiibwa n’ettendo, olw’ekisa kya Katonda alyoke alege ku kufa ku lwa buli muntu.
Katonda atadde ebintu byonna wansi w’ebigere byo. Olwa Kristo, olina obuyinza era n’obufuzi mu mbeera ez’obulamu.

Eno ye mbeera erabika nga eyeekontana ekyawandiikibwa kyaffe kwe kisonga bwe kigamba, “Kubanga mu kuteeka ebintu byonna wansi we teyaggyako kintu obutakiteeka wansi we. Naye kaakano tetunnalaba bintu byonna nga biteekeddwa wansi we”
Ebibeerawo mu bulamu bwo bwe birabika ng’ebikontana n’amazima nti amaanyi n’obufuzi bibyo, Kiki ky’olaba? Olaba mbeera ya kulemererwa eby’enfuna byo gye birimu? Olaba ngeri ki obufumbo bwo gye bumenyeseemu? Olaba ngeri ki obuweereza bwo gye bwanguwa okugwa? Olaba eby’obulamu bwo bwe bisaanawo?
Pawulo atugamba gwe tulina okulaba. Agamba, ” Naye tulaba Yesu.”
Ggya amaaso go ku kulemererwa, laba Yesu. Ggya amaaso go ku alipoota ya ddokita embi, laba Yesu. Ggya amaaso go ku bulumi bw’okuliibwamu olukwe, laba Yesu.
Kyusa amaaso go ogazze ku Ye. Bw’okikola, obulumi, okubonaabona oba okufiirwa tekukendeera bukendeezi mu ngeri etali ya bulijjo kyokka, wabula kusaanawo mu kitangaala eky’ekitiibwa n’ekisa Kye.
YONGERA OSOME: Abaebbulaniya 12:2, Abbakolisayi 3:2-4
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Ggya amaaso go ku kulemererwa, laba Yesu. Ggya amaaso go ku alipoota ya ddokita embi, laba Yesu. Ggya amaaso go ku bulumi bw’okulibwamu olukwe, laba Yesu.

Teri kikaluba gy’Oli. Mmanyi nti munene Oyo ali mu nze okusinga oyo ali mu nsi. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

BAITU TURORA YESU
Omukwenda Grace Lubega
Abaheburaniya 2:8-9 (KJV); Wamuha okulema ebintu byona; byona okabita omu mikono ye.” Ruhanga obu yamuhaire okulema ebintu byona, taina na kimu eki ataramuhaire okulema. Baitu kuhika hati, titukarozire ebintu byona nibimuhurra. Kwihaho Yesu ogu ayamazire akaanya atakaingaine bamalaika, hati nitumurora ajwaire ekondo ey’ekitiinisa kandi ey’okutiinwa eyamurugiire omu kufa oku yarabiremu; nukwo, habw’embabazi za Ruhanga, akaba naasobora kufa habw’abantu boona.
Ruhanga atekere ebintu byoona hansi yebigere byawe. Habwa Kristo oina obusobozi hamu n’obukama omunsonga ez’obwomezi.

LAKINI TUNAMWONA YESU
Mtume Grace Lubega
Waebrania 2:8-9 (KJV); Umeweka vitu vyote chini ya nyayo zake. Kwa maana katika kuweka vitu vyote chini yake hakusaza kitu kisichowekwa chini yake. Lakini sasa bado hamjaona vitu vyote kutiwa chini yake, ila twamwona yeye aliyefanywa mdogo punde kuliko malaika, yaani, Yesu, kwa sababu ya maumivu ya mauti, amevikwa taji ya utukufu na heshima, ili kwa neema ya Mungu aionje mauti kwa ajili ya kila mtu.
Mungu ameweka vitu vyote chini ya miguu yako. Kwa Kristo, unayo mamlaka na utawala katika mambo ya maisha.
Licha ya nguvu hii hata hivyo, unaweza kuyachunguza maisha yako na utambue kuwa hayashuhudii mamlaka hii. Kwa mfano, unaweza kuwa unapitia hali ambayo inakufanya ushuku sana ukweli kwamba Mungu amekufanya mshindi.
Hiki ndicho kitendawili katika andiko letu kuu linaposema, “Kwa maana katika kuweka vitu vyote chini yake hakusaza kitu kisichowekwa chini yake. Lakini sasa bado hamjaona vitu vyote kutiwa chini yake”
Ikiwa matukio katika maisha yako yanaonekana kuwa kinyume na ukweli kwamba nguvu na utawala ni zako, unaona nini? Je! Unaona hali ya kusikitisha ambayo biashara yako iko? Je! Unaona jinsi ndoa yako ilivyovunjika? Je! Unaona jinsi huduma yako inavyozidi kushuka kwenda chini? Je! Unaona afya yako kama inayozorota?
Paulo anatuambia tunayepaswa kumwona. Anasema, “Lakini tunamwona Yesu.”
Ondoa macho yako kwenye kutofaulu, mwone Yesu. Ondoa macho yako kwenye ripoti mbaya ya daktari, mwone Yesu. Ondoa macho yako kwenye maumivu ya usaliti, muone Yesu.
Geuza macho yako kwake. Unapofanya hivyo, maumivu, mateso au upotezi haukui tu mdogo ajabu, hupotea katika nuru ya utukufu na neema Yake.
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Waebrania 12:2, Wakolosai 3: 2-4
UJUMBE MKUU: Ondoa macho yako kwenye kutofaulu, muone Yesu. Ondoa macho yako kwenye ripoti mbaya ya daktari, mwone Yesu. Ondoa macho yako kwenye maumivu ya usaliti, muone Yesu.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Ninakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Wewe ndiwe msaada wangu wa wakati wote wa uhitaji. Ninakutazama na kadri ninavyofanya, ninaona maisha kupitia macho ya ukweli wako. Hakuna jambo gumu kwako. Najua kuwa aliye ndani yangu ni mkuu kuliko yeye aliye ulimwenguni. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.

The context of our theme scripture is a time when Israel found itself as the subject of scorn and shame. She was mocked by her enemies because she had become a wasteland. There was not much to admire about her, her former glory was a distant memory.
In Jewish culture, as indicated by our theme scripture, the firstborn son was entitled to a double portion of the inheritance. This right is the basis of the double blessing.
Spiritual ignorance is not the absence of information about God.
In dealing with the affairs of our lives, God does not merely send us help, He is at the very centre and is the essence of our help and salvation.
The Christian life is riddled with many trials. The psalmist lays out this sobering fact in Psalm 34:19 (AMP) when he says that many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous. Men may hate you without cause, those closest to you may betray you and sometimes, your plans may not turn out like you wish.
When the Bible speaks of the world to come, it not only refers to a different age but to the immediate and distant future. It may apply to days, years or decades from now.
Strange as it may seem, there are people in this world who do not see the need for prayer because the Bible says that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. They ask the question, why must I pray if the Spirit of God prays on my behalf?
“All things work together for good” is a mantra for those resigned to a fate that they feel incapable of changing. It is sometimes spoken by drowning men clutching at biblical straws.
When Jesus Christ walked the surface of the earth, He was a man of prayer. The Bible says in Luke 5:16 (NIV), “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” 
The fervent prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available, which power is dynamic in its working.
There is a difference between the man of the flesh and the man of the spirit. In simple terms, in you, is a man of the flesh and also in you, is a man of the spirit, whom Paul in Ephesians 3:16 calls the inner man.
