Tunnel Vision

Ps. 103:2  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

Tunnel vision is a condition of the eyes which restricts a person's field of vision.  He sees only a small portion of what he should.  He doesn't see the complete picture.

When Jesus hung on the cross, He said, "It is finished! (telestomai, teleio)"  You may think that He was merely stating that the task of redemption was finally done.  But actually, the word "finished" means complete.  He was really saying that what He did provided us with a complete (teleio), full and total package of what we will need to meet any and every need in our lives.  His sacrifice was complete or lacking nothing, the perfect gift to us in every way.

So, if we're looking at Jesus as just our Savior, we have tunnel vision and are not looking at the complete picture.  He's more than just our Savior.  He's the total package.

He's our Healer (Rapha), our Provision (Jireh), our Righteousness (Tsidkenu), our Shepherd (Roi), our God who is always there (Shammah), our Victory (Nissi) and our Peace (Shalom).  Now that's seeing the complete picture!  These are all His benefits.  Forget not.
