Morning by Morning, January 12 - “But We Do See Jesus...”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I welcome You here in my heart and every moment of my day -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...
“But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone” (Hebrews 2:9).
We don’t yet see a world that’s free from sickness and death, sorrow and pain (from Revelation 21:4). But we do see Jesus.
We don’t yet see a world where the lamb lies down with the lion, where our swords are beaten into ploughshares and our spears into pruning hoots, where nation does not lift up sword against nation, nor learn war anymore (from Isaiah 2:4). But we do see Jesus.
We don’t yet see a world established in spirit and truth where justice rolls down like waters and righteousness lie a mighty stream (from Amos 5:24). But we do see Jesus.
We don’t yet see a world where we go up to the mountain where You Yourself will teach us Your ways (from Micah 4:2), where we love our enemies and love one another just as You have loved us (from Matthew 5:44), where the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our God and of His Christ (from Revelation 11:15). But we do see Jesus.
We do see You, Lord Jesus. We see You at work in our world and at work in our hearts. We do see You as we “lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, (as we) run the race with perseverance that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before (You), disregarding its shame, and has taken (Your) seat at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1-2).
Yes, Lord. We do see Jesus. We do look up to You, to pursue Your Presence, to trust in Your love and mercy and grace, to embrace Your Sacrifice on our behalf so that we could live in Heaven when we die and live with Heaven in us now.
We don’t yet see all that will be at “the time of universal restoration that God announced long ago through His holy prophets” (Acts 3:21), “the times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began” (NKJV). But right now, we do see Jesus -- the One who is “the exact imprint of God’s very being (who) sustains all things by His powerful word” (Hebrews 1:3). Give us eyes to see and hearts to believe. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
