But We See Jesus...

But We See Jesus...

I just wanted to share some notes I took in a recent preaching hour and four words taken from Hebrews 2:9...

Do we see Jesus in all that we do, say or hear? I must admit that I get caught up in the busy day to day things that come in my life, from motherhood to wifely duties, to homeschooling and being a pastor's wife, and caring for my elderly mother. I sometimes look at the task at hand through my eyes. When I see things through my eyes I see a glass half empty when I should be looking instead at the glass half full which is closer to the way Jesus would see.

When we see Jesus in all of our daily tasks we will begin to show Jesus to others. And those others include our loved ones, especially if we have children still in our homes. Im not talking about lifestyle evangelism where one only believes that their lifestyle will lead others to Jesus. Those who believe that have forgotten that we are supposed to go out and compel them (Luke 14:23) to come in. I am talking about: "but we see Jesus" where he lives. He is in heaven with the Father (John 16:16, 32, 20:17). Do we look to heaven ourselves and behold its beauty? "But we see Jesus" through prophesy. The scriptures are being fulfilled everyday. "But we see Jesus" through our  personal testimony. Where were you when Jesus saved you from your life in sin. Remember where Jesus brought you from and be willing to share it with others. "But we see Jesus" by learning and knowing and sharing scriptures. Study (2Timothy 2:15). "But we see Jesus" by not quitting and remaining faithful no matter what comes into our life (I Thes. 1:4, Hebrews 11:17). "But we see Jesus" who is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).

We can be a witness of God's goodness no matter what our circumstances are because we live our life in such a way that "we see Jesus".

Because of Him, may He richly bless you today more than yesterday.
