i enjoyed the video.  i think one of the interesting things i took away from watching it was, how at first the painting was upside-down.  it wasn't until he turned it over and continued painting did the visual start coming together.  kind of like how the world views Jesus, if they view Him at all.  upside-down and disconnected.  confusing and chaotic.  until, by God's grace He rights their view and gives them eyes to see His Portrait.  His Image.  Jesus, the Christ.

of course, no person alive today can confirm what the Son of the Father looked like in person.  but on That Day we WILL see Him.  as He is.

Certainly not a tribute to the real Jesus Christ. Hope this comment does not offend anyone. Just my thought.

I'm not sure about that - where did he get the talent from and clearly it's genuine - LOL

I think of my own time in church with my guitar playing which was appreciated by many for the skill I had and I always did it the best I could for the Lord with the understanding I had at the time. It's a form of art too. Was I wasting my time doing it? I don't think so. Did I hunger after God's truth when doing it? All the time.

We are all in places at different times for a reason and so is this guy. We should always be careful not to judge others for what they do. God knows and we should leave it to him. If people were talking to me like that I would of been quite annoyed. I know what's in my heart and why I do it. If was preaching a false message then like Ray did expose it but I see no problem in art.

Does it matter what He looks like? I don't think so, it's not the point. It matters who He is and what He is doing.

Microlink,

No offense taken brother.

We are all different in the ways God has made us.  He chose not to endow me with any artistic abilities whatsoever.  I have a hard time drawing stick figures or playing the radio!!  As a result, I have a great admiration for those who possess these abilities, and recognize them as being purely from God.

Although you do not see this as a tribute to the real Jesus Christ, I see it as an attempt by this man to at least point people in the direction of Him by painting an image that seems to be internationally recognized as the man Jesus Christ who died 2000 years ago on the cross.  While it's not an official calling by the Lord, I believe it helps to bring people’s awareness to the fact that there IS a God and that Jesus (the recognized image of the painting) is the Savior of the world.  I find that rather refreshing in a world that seems to get uglier by the day!

Rhys,  Thanks brother for posting the you tube version.

God bless you brother,
Roger
