'What unutterable depths of love, tenderness and compassion one sees as they gaze upon that blessed face! Has not your poor heart often cried, 'Oh that I were more like Him?' Then, dear one, obey His word and 'Behold the Lamb!' It is a command. You may not see Him in an actual vision, but Jesus will be revealed to you as you obey, and beholding you will be changed (2 Corinthians 3:17). In these days there is such a tendency, even amongst God's dear children, to behold everything and everybody save the Lamb - meetings, people, an experience, a joy, a blessing, that will never truly satisfy them nor the Lord Jesus.
The very simplicity of the command stumbles us. He will reveal Himself to you in a way you have never dreamt of if you make this your constant occupation. Nothing must be held back if you would see His face and be conformed to His glorious image. First taking Him by faith in the fullness of the Holy Ghost to dwell within the secret hidden chambers of your soul; then, whether you walk, or stand, or eat, or drink, or sleep, or wake, He will be revealed in you...Beloved, worship, adore, live in His presence every moment'.
