Amen, Bob. You share an excellent point...we carry the living and resurrected Jesus in our bodies to the world. I get such a charge meditating on the realities of this passage of scripture:
 
The Supremacy of the Son of God
 
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 
 
16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 
 
17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 
 
18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 
 
19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,
 
20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
 
21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 
 
22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 
 
23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
 
24 Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. 
 
25 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 
 
26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 
 
27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
 
28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 
 

 

29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.
 
Col 1:15-29
 
Continue to share the smile and eye contact and revel in the knowing that by some mystery it is Jesus smiling and making eye contact through you!

I am reminded of a song by the Gaither Vocal Band.  "I Then Shall Live"  Super words and melody that pretty well express what we should be doing.
