194 How am I to picture Jesus?

The following question was emailed to me" "What does Jesus really look like? Do I see in my heart 'the picture of Jesus' drawn by the artist, but that is the artist’s impression of Jesus. Is there anyone who really knows what Jesus literally looks like? Or can I imagine Jesus as a cross that is shining with light, or a very bright light shining down from the skies, or a bright shining silhouette of a man? If I picture Jesus as the Lion of Judah and I use images of a lion from a Christian website, am I not making those website images as idols? Kindly clarify, thank you."Great question! As a reminder, the New Testament does say, "Fixing our eyes on Jesus" (Heb. 12:2), and "Behold I am with you always" (Matt. 28:20 NKJV). It goes on to say that Jesus is "the image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15). This means that when I see Jesus, He is showing me God in action. Cool!So how do I work out this whole idea of beholding Jesus, of fixing my eyes on Jesus?Read more here.Support the show
