Amen, Bro. Blume. Too often, we let Jesus escape our sight because of all the worldly distractions that assault our senses every minute of every day. Indeed, the world and its attractions are curious and our flesh delights in them. Just like John on the Isle of Patmos when he saw Babylon, the mother of harlots, we often lose ourselves in the vision and "wonder with great admiration." But the writer to the Hebrews reminds us to look unto Jesus, who both authored and FINISHED our faith. The work of the cross is finished. It's complete. And we are complete in Him. We must forsake worldliness, the works of the flesh, and be what we are called to be.
Since His physical body ascended into heaven, He is counting on us to be His hands, His feet, His voice and His heart! He used His hands to bring healing and comfort to those who were sick. His feet took Him out of His way when there was someone in need of some special touch or ministry. His feet also took Him to Calvary in the ultimate example of self-sacrifice. He used His voice to calm storms, to rebuke traditions that were contrary to His Word, and to preach "the acceptable year of the Lord." And His heart was big enough to love a world that had rejected Him and killed Him. His heart grieved over Jerusalem, knowing its destruction was coming due to their rejection of their King.
So, it's up to us to follow His example and to fulfill our calling as the Body of Christ.
“
He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do” John 14.12
