Occupied with Jesus. Our HEART yielded to (Pro 23:26) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our ARM leaning on (Song of Solomon 8:5) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our HANDS working for (Eph 4:28) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our EYES looking to (Heb 12:2) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our FEET following after (1Pe 2:21) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our VOICE speaking to (Song of Solomon 2:14; Psa 71:24) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our EAR listening to (Luk 10:29) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Have you ever noticed that just as there were FIVE PILLARS guarding the entrance to the Holy Place, so we have FIVE APOSTLES, Paul, Peter, John, Jude and James, stationed as it were at the threshold of the Christian faith, through whose teaching alone we can understand what is within while just as the Holy of Holies was guarded by FOUR PILLARS, so the FOUR EVANGELISTS guard, while at the same time they give us access to the sacred mysteries of the life of our Lord.
