The Face of Jesus
Here is an idea for a group assignment. There are two portraits online where the artists claimed to paint Jesus from actually seeing him. The first is the one you mentioned by Akaine is HERE
The second is by Glenda Green HERE
Take a look and these two and see if either registers as a true image.
Next go to Google image search
Type in “Jesus portrait” and scroll through the images. If you see any that strike a chord give us a link with your impressions.

Thanks for your comments and participation on the face of Jesus. There is something one can say for sure about him if he were to come across a true picture which is this. The eyes would be interesting and exude intelligence and a strong life force. Take this picture for instance HERE
It is a composite put together using research and guesswork and though some ingredients may be more accurate than the traditional pictures the eyes are surely way off. The guy just doesn’t look very bright and if a person is truly intelligent it is revealed through the eyes as well as the whole look of the individual.
Other pictures make Jesus look weak, wimpy, and effeminate in a syrupy way. These type of pictures can be ruled out as being good representations
I do not see any pictures on the internet that strike me as being 100% accurate but some capture part of his essence. I believe that Akaine’s portrait captures him the best.
It is interesting that Colton Burpo, who had a near death experience and saw Jesus when he was a child, reported that he looked like Akaine’s portrait of him.
I did see a portrait many years ago in a tabloid that impressed me as accurate. I cut it out and saved it for a long time and was finally lost in one of my moves. It hasn’t surfaced anywhere on the internet. I wish I had it to show it to you. I’m sure the group would be impressed.
It was painted by a lady who claimed to have had a vision of Christ when he was in his twenties. His hair wasn’t that long and he didn’t have a beard at the time, but it was the most interesting looking human being I had ever seen.
A reader brings up an interesting item of discussion. If one has soul contact does this mean he would recognize a true picture of Jesus?
Not necessarily. If one had known Jesus in a past life this would be possible but if he had not then it would require true psychic powers rather than soul contact to bring forth the right image.
Remember soul contact deals with principles more than data. Sometimes when it is important the soul will send an impression on a piece of data but more often than not we are on our own to reason it out. On the other hand, the person with reliable soul contact is very capable in seeing true principles and how they play out in this reality.
Reader: How about if the overshadowed Jesus were actually standing before us? It seems almost incomprehensible that MOST folks wouldn’t feel the impact – I suppose to some it would just evoke irritation rather than peace but SOMETHING would register in almost everyone wouldn’t it?
JJ The actual presence of a person is much different than a photo or painting. In this case soul contact is a great help for you can sense the aura of the person as well as his inner being. As I said before one with soul contact can recognize another with it in their physical presence and often in communication away from their presence.

Glenda seems to claim much more than an impression. Here are some quotes from her book – love Without End:
“Jesus appeared to me and was with me for almost four months between November 1991 and March 1992.
“In the fall of 1992, much to my surprise, those special circumstances were arranged and another vision was brought to me. It happened in a little country church where I had given the evening presentation. During the closing prayer, I noticed the rare fragrance I always sensed when Jesus was in my studio. Lifting my head and opening my eyes brought confirmation of what I suspected. He was there! Without a word to startle the others, I quietly beheld a fascinating process. With every passing second He regressed in age until He became an infant in His mother’s arms. Mary was young and classically Hebrew in appearance. In her loveliness, she was the image of innocence and barely more than a child herself. After a few minutes, the vision stabilized and remained unchanged for the two months required to paint it. The Flame of Love, as the painting came to be called,
“A wry grin began to take shape on His face as He focused a quizzical look at me.
“His eyes were like clear pools of water, as I gazed into them, and beheld the simplicity of His succinct reply.
“While nodding to the reality of our history, His countenance remained calm and serene. A comforting smile spread across His face…
“In His presence there was love overflowing. Glowing with an aura of contentment and happiness, His face radiated joy, and He often smiled from ear to ear. I was fascinated, however, by the fact that I never saw Him laugh.”
This story impresses many, but I tend to side with Akaine’s Jesus as the intelligence and passion of his look are striking. In addition, it was quite a miracle that she first sketched him from a vision at the age of four and finished the now famous oil painting at the age of six.
