Luke 5:31, “They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
📖 Devotional Message
The Reflection: Our greatest qualification for God’s grace is our “sickness”—our need. Those who think they are “whole” or “righteous” by their own effort create a barrier that the Great Physician cannot cross. But when we acknowledge our sin and our inability, we become the primary objects of His care. Christ didn’t come to start a religion for the perfect; He came to open a hospital for the broken. Repentance is simply checking into His care and admitting we need His healing life.
Practical Application: Be honest with God about a specific “symptom” in your life today (anger, pride, fear). Don’t try to hide it; present it to the Physician for treatment.
LUGANDA:
Okufumiitiriza: Ebisaanyizo byaffe ebisinga obunene eby’ekisa kya Katonda bwe “bulwadde” bwaffe —obwetaavu bwaffe. Abo abalowooza nti “batuukiridde” oba “batuukirivu” olw’okufuba kwabwe bakola ekiziyiza Omusawo Omukulu ky’atasobola kusomoka. Naye bwe tukkiriza ekibi kyaffe n’obutasobola bwaffe, tufuuka ebintu ebikulu eby’okulabirira kwe. Kristo teyajja kutandikawo ddiini ya batuukiridde; Yazze okuggulawo eddwaaliro eri abamenyese. Okwenenya kwe kukebera kwokka mu kulabirirwa kwe n’okukkiriza nti twetaaga obulamu bwe obw’okuwonya.
 Okukozesa mu nkola: Beera mwesimbu eri Katonda ku “kabonero” akagere mu bulamu bwo leero (obusungu, amalala, okutya). Togezaako kukikweka; kiyanjule eri Omusawo amujjanjabe.
