confused catholic -- As far as anyone knows, there are no "pictures" of Christ in existence. Numerous painters have attempted to paint portraits of Jesus as they envisaged Him, but these images are products of the artists' imaginations and nothing more. Various art shops and bookstores may be able to supply you with prints of some of these paintings. It is my considered opinion that the Gospel writers painted a far more vivid (and certainly more accurate) picture of Jesus with words than any painter has been able to do with paint and brush. --Hank | ||||||

I think the reason there is no pictures of Jesus is because Jesus wants our Worship not for us to worship some picture of Him. I think that is also why no one is sure where Jesus was crucified or where his tomb was. We don't need to know any of that. We get to worship The living God. Also Jesus is to big to put into a mere picture or Statue or anything like that. God Bless you, Darcy |

Hello, Darcy -- Your observations on this subject of images of our Lord are quite good and, typical of your other fine contributions to this forum, make a good deal of sense. As with images of Jesus so with the original autographs of Scripture: neither exists. Of the written word we have manuscripts that were painstakingly copied from the autographs. It has been observed that it is a singular blessing that the original autographs no longer are extant, because great would be the temptation to worship them instead of God, which is, of course, idolatry. Imagine how much greater the temptation would be to worship images of Christ if they existed. Our Lord said, "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (John 4:24). .... By the way, Darcy, your area of Virginia is truly beautiful. I've visited Roanoke on occassion, having represented a Roanoke company, Shenandoah Life, as a long-time member (now retired) of the insurance industry. ..... In Christ, --Hank | ||||||

Hank, Just thought of this verse John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Hank it is beautiful here. I live about 20 miles from Roanoke, I live in the country on a mountain over looking Roanoke. |
