Welcome to MY View!

Today I would like to talk about the true Jesus, NOT the portrayal often found in paintings and art work by artists that has NEVER seen Jesus in life.

My life has been spent working on what would Jesus do? Well.... Yes this is a deep subject. What exactly would Jesus do....
  1. When He sees "Modern" churches selling Bibles and religious literature within the church halls?
  2. When He sees these portraits of a man he KNOWS is not Him?
  3. When He sees us in the church praying to a statue, portrait, or icon of Him or His Mother Mary?
  4. When He hears us saying Hail Marias to atone for our sins?
  5. When He sees us confessing to a Priest in a cubicle and not talking to Him or God the Father?
  6. When He asks you 'How do you see me in your minds' eyes?'?

Is best to say "Yes, the conventional portrayal of My LORD AND SAVIOUR are true and accurate?
But it is not...

-OR-

Is it just MY personal experience when He came to me in my dreams?
But it is not...

There really truly is NO right or wrong here. The fact the Bible states "He will show Himself unto you in your time and hour of need" means, to me, He will show us what we are not afraid of, the image we have of Him in our head, hearts and souls. We will recognize Him no matter what he looks like, no matter what our languages are, no matter what our races are, and for that matter, not what our religion is. He sent His Apostles amongst us the gentiles to spread His wisdom and teachings, NOT what He looked like, Faith is what we need to recognise Him, our hearts and souls will know Him for the love He has for us, Our minds will follow his teachings and wisdom, our ears will hear His true voice in us as we sing praises to Him and call up to Him for help and comfort.
He is who we are, we are who He is, built with souls and flesh and blood, our constant flow of thoughts and actions all go towards how much influence we have on others' views, and I am never one to look at someone and NOT question the fact that Jesus IS whomever WE need in our time of need, He may be that beggar on the corner asking for a meal, he may have been that little mouse you saved from your cats lunch buffet. He is ALL things, in all things and can be ANYTHING. The power of Jesus is not limited to our minds nor our imaginations!
