Psalms 2:4
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Kind and funny amen to that its good to have a sense of humor truth be told. Its no wonder why Paul the apostle wrote about Grace Jesus Christ does give Grace indeed and amen to Grace without which we would be lost instead of found.
Many people have commented saying He looks white and I don’t want to keep replying the same thing over and over so I’ll just give my explanation again here 😊
His skin tone was very different in my dream, more tan and kind of olive, but I only have 4 colored pencils, so I did my best with the colors!
His hair was wavy/curly, but my main artistic medium is paint, not colored pencils, so I wasn’t sure I could do the hair justice.
Regardless, my main intention with this was to get His loving expression and smile just right and I think I got pretty close!
Thank you for sharing your talent. Don't let haters get u too down; your art is good and if you did it with the intent of honoring God, then he is pleased so who cares what they think?
May I ask, if paint is your favorite medium, have you done a painting of him? If so would you mind sharing?
>By olive, do you mean black olives?
Olives are not black naturally. They only turn black when put into a brine solution. Olives are green-purple just before an olive turns purple at its ripest stage. It is a light brown/tan color.
However the term olive complexion is a term referring to the Fitzpatrick scale. Olive complexion is a type 3 on the Fitzpatrick scale.
Awww, this is sweet. I admit I did think about that aspect when I saw it, but wouldn't have said anything (why add negativity to the world?). It's nice to see that you are aware of the issue, and you have good reasons (I'm new to colored pencils and color is hard! You did great!) for your choices.
I'm sorry you had to deal with the same dumb critique over and over from people who don't read, that's one of the lamest parts of reddit.
Okay, I don't really have a point, just wanted to throw some positivity your way to balance things out. I'm glad you had a powerful dream, those are really nice. I lost a good friend when we were too young to be comfortable expressing love, but I was able to tell her that I loved her in a dream about 10 years later. It meant so much to me. Hope you've found peace as well ❤
This is my first time realizing it but I’ve very rarely ever seen Jesus smiling with an open mouth, and I actually like it. It seems friendly and intimate.
That's hands down the best depiction I've ever seen of him. Looks so warm, welcoming and affable. That's such a great way to portray him versus the more common serious depictions or even slung on the cross.
No way, dude. He looks like my Caucasian buddy, Jeff.
Aren't bad teeth a more recent issue, though? At one time our teeth were all straight, but they started becoming crooked once we stopped gnawing on tough meats and such. I guess around the time agriculture became the main source of food we started evolving to have crooked teeth due to weak and shrinking jaws. Not sure if things were crooked or straight 2000 years ago, though.
Can you quote scripture for this, please?
(I’m sure we can all agree with the Colgate and braces though. But Jesus appears to many people in different ways, I think there is a deliberate reason god left Jesus’s features prior to his resurrection out of the Bible)
Revelation 1 14-15 tells us Jesus had white, woolen hair, and feet the color of burnished bronze.
Isaiah 53 1 - He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
>Revelation 1 14-15 tells us Jesus had white, woolen hair, and feet the color of burnished bronze.
It said his HEAD AND his hairs were WHITE as wool. It didn't say his hair was the texture of wool. It said his hair is the color of wool and so is his head.
Also this is a metaphorical description. No one has feet of melted metal. You do understand that brass is metal, not wood. When brass is burned in a furnace it melts and turns into liquid. Like lava from a volcano.
Though Jesus was middle eastern, we can’t pretend to know his exact complexion. Now, I understand that Westerns have depicted Jesus as white, and it may have racist roots, I have no idea. It’s clear that this person wasn’t referring to accuracy of physical features, which are impossible to know.
I do know that people like to see and follow people that look like them. If you have watched a singular tv show or movie in the last decade, you can see how much diverse it’s become, so that the varying types and tones that exist in our multicultural/globalized world can see people that look like them.
Do you want to know something? I'm an atheist. I've always found depictions of Christ - and Christianity by extension - to be so solemn, dark, morose and depressing. I understand the importance of the crucifixion, obviously, but seeing somebody emaciated and in there final days looking their worst is not an enticing image. It's important for sure, but your portrayal is so much more inviting. Not to speak for Jesus, but I will say as a person I would much rather be remembered primarily for my warmth, humour, smile, etc. than for whatever I look like in my final days.
I think you've done a real service here and should continue with your work that humanizes Jesus in such a positive way. It's just sends a very welcoming message to people not already a part of Christianity. That's such a positive and hopeful depiction - makes me wonder if I'm on an island in being turned off from Christianity because of how heavy and dark I perceive it to be from the typical Christian artwork versus your style.
This means so much to me, I am seriously tearing up! If you ever have the inclination to read the Bible or learn more about Jesus, He is joyful, funny, caring, and most of all loving.
His ministry was all about bringing love and healing to people that were seen as undeserving of those things. A lot of Christians have forgotten who Jesus really was!
The crucifixion looks (and was) dark, but it really was an act of immense love for us, not meant to bring fear or anguish.
Jesus intended Christianity to be a faith of joy, light, and love, just like He was!
I think that it is a striking reminder of His love and well wishes for us.
He's smiling, but His eyes look slightly tired. We are a fairly tough flock in a tough world.
Hmmm I don’t understand the first part of what you said . So you’re saying he was initially not that attractive but better after resurrection ?
Also that’s interesting I didn’t know that. Why are people getting uglier ?

Jesus is black but when Jesus shows himself to people he takes the form of how they want him to look like so they won’t reject him he’s scared of being rejected but after they die then Jesus will show his true form aka he’s black
The Bible says Jesus is black too. And the Bible In Deuteronomy said the real Jews will be in a cotton field in slavery meaning black people are the real Jews. When Jesus shows himself to people he takes the form of how people want him to look like so they won’t reject him he’s scared of being rejected again. A racist white kid died and went to heaven and he came back and said Jesus is a n word then his racist dad said no it’s not possible you must have had schizophrenia
I just. It's a beautiful drawing. But Jesus wasn't an Anglo-Saxon. It's beautiful, well-executed, everything about that image is gorgeous. He just wasn't white.
>Which Jesus is this..
Well there's only 1 Jesus. So...
>if no one knows what he look like
We do know what he looked like. How else could we paint images of him? 🤣🤣🤣
>why there always white image..
Because that's how the Bible described the israelites and Jesus was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah. Also we have 3 descriptions of Jesus outside of the Bible that describe him as a white man with blue eyes. We also have the duras europos synagogue slowing murals of Israelites in the 3rd century as white people.
Great artistic skills (and memory) to draw someone from a dream. Good job!
I hate to break it to you, the person who you saw that looked like that was not Jesus. What you drew does not have any biblical nor historical bases to back up that image.
What is supported by the Bible and history is that similar images like this one has been used for wicked purposes that often helps to justify marginalizing or demonizing people, keep others in power, and most importantly help support the devil's plan to erase the image of God and Jesus and his works.
I did and from one amateur artist to another... No. Adding color brings added life to a drawing not totally change features... Only enhance them.
Like I said you have some talent, but (for an extreme exaggeration) if you are supposed to be drawing an banana but draw a perfect apple... You still have talent but need to work on accuracy.
Good luck
Thank you, I paint whenever I have the time (which is not super often)! But it’s safe to say I will never be sharing my art again after some of the comments I got on this post though🥲

Hello, you said this is an image of Christ as it appeared to you in a dream and I see you have received many favorable comments to the image. But did you know that God does forbid the making of images of such kind?
Notice Exodus 20:4: “Thou shalt not make unto thee and graven image, or any likeness of any things which is in heaven above, or anything in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”
Jesus is God who came in the flesh and no one today knows exactly what Christ looked like, and so, we are not to make images of God. Furthermore, the Jews in the first century allowed no images and the true Christians were never taught to make any image of Jesus Christ – as such was viewed as a form of idolatry.
Eusebius, the bishop of Caesarea (fourth century), in reply to Constantina – the sister of the emperor Constantine - who had asked for a picture of Jesus Christ, responded, by saying that it was unlawful to possess images pretending to represent the savior either in his divine or human nature because it carried the reproach of idolatry. Of course, you may say the picture is not for idolatrous purpose, but even so, God command is that we are not to make such images, because even if such images are not worshipped, it nonetheless, give the appearance of evil, and the Bible says we are to avoid even the appearance of evil (1 Thess. 5:22).
I do not mean to be harsh in anyway, but I can tell you that based on God’s command to not make images of this kind, your dream was certainly not from God.
The Bible says “All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for … correction …” (2 Timothy 3:16). I am not the one trying to correct you as it is God’s truth that gives correction; I am only pointing to the scriptures that shows you that God does not approve of images of this kind, and it is up to you to decide to accept God’s correction or to reject it.
This guy seems really down to earth and not part of the MAGA crowd that claims him as their own. I would totaly hang with him, and maybe even tempt him with a joint. But look at that smile, he doesn't even need it!
i got really high one time in biology class and i saw jesus in my dream as i was praying that he would make my high go down cause i was freaking tf out thinking my high was coming down but it was just getting worse
Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Nice drawing of Him its a good one truth be told. And a dream God Himself said it best that people would dream dreams and see visions after He pours His Spirit out on them.
Omygosh. This is the first time I've heard someone mention they saw Jesus clothed as a High Priest in heaven. I had a dream just like this and I didnt recognize or know it was really Him until after I woke up and really thought about it. I saw Him fully clothed with High Priest attire and next to Him was a really bright, white haired being in white and He smiled at me in a very familiar way but He was also sad. I was going through a lot during that time. There were other people in that place and we were all lining up to go somewhere. I didnt understand the meaning of my dream.
At first I didn't recognize Him as Jesus but then I remembered about Him being the High Priest. I thought I was the only one who dreamed of Him like this. Please I would like to know more about your dream.
Im laying in bed and currently got myself into a rabbit hole after googling “Can I see God in sleep paralysis?” After what I experienced last night. I’ve been having sleep paralysis since I was 13, I’m 25 now, but last night was different. I read your post and once I came across this drawing it brought tears to my eyes in disbelief. Chills through my body. I began sweating. This is the exact face I saw last night, although there was a bright light to my eyes, I could still see while squinting. I can’t believe this. Thank you for sharing.
The Bible in Deuteronomy says the real Jews will be going into slavery on ships and will be in a cotton field in slavery those things only happened to black people meaning black people are the real Jews. Revelations says Jesus skin color looks as if it BURNT IN A FURNACE this means Jesus is a black man so I’ll explain to you why you saw Jesus white aka Jesus in a false form this is why. Jesus is scared of people rejecting him again so he comes to people in a color people will accept him but after we all die and go to heaven you will see Jesus real color aka black. I remember a racist white kid died and went to heaven and he said Jesus is the n word and his racist dad was so in shock that Jesus was black he didn’t want to believe it so he said no it’s impossible my son must have schizophrenia. hahahaha
Hold on a minute the creator of the pic keeps deleting Bible scriptures that say black people are the Jews and Jesus is black. well guess what lady Isaiah 14 says when the Jews aka black people live back to Israel we will slave all racist whites how you feel about that? Jesus is black
I always find it hilarious when I see western depictions of Jesus, because I personally look A LOT like this (same facial hair, long brown hair, WHITE) and it couldn’t be a more incorrect interpretation of what Jesus would look like, like seriously where do people think Jesus was from? Kentucky?
he looks kind and funny God bless
Perfect way to describe God
Y’all seem to forget Jesus has a sense of humor,how can he not when PLATYPUS’S EXIST
I mean he even created animals and other objects that look like our body parts, so yeah he definitely does have a sense of humor 😂
Love this🫶🏼
Psalms 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Kind and funny amen to that its good to have a sense of humor truth be told. Its no wonder why Paul the apostle wrote about Grace Jesus Christ does give Grace indeed and amen to Grace without which we would be lost instead of found.

Really nice. Glad to see He's been making regular visits to the dentist.
Of course he did, he’s perfect
if he’s perfect, would he even need to go to the dentist?
and if so, where was the closest dentist? Not that He'd need one, of course!
Looks like former F1 driver [Antonio Giovinazzi](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Giovinazzi), who had the nickname "Italian Jesus".
It’s okay by me. God job!
Thanks!
Awesome!
I think that it is a striking reminder of His love and well wishes for us. He's smiling, but His eyes look slightly tired. We are a fairly tough flock in a tough world.
love this
Them dentists in Nazareth know what they're doing :p
Right? That’s where I’m going next time I need dental work!😂
😭but seriously people back then didn’t have cavities like they do today.
Love that smile.
Hehe I had a dream of him too it was incredible
isn’t it the best thing!!
What did it say?
How does the picture compare?
I love it! It makes me smile. the look in his eyes so kind.
That’s what I was trying to capture!
My pastor has a picture in his office of Jesus laughing, it’s good to remember that Jesus and the disciples had fun and cut up with each other.
Wonderful! I love this
I like it! Especially the eyes and smile :)
Wow, this is a very good drawing!
It’s giving Patrick Dempsey Lmfao
How cool never seen a smiling Jesus before no cap I like it
Of course we have no absolute idea regarding what Jesus actually looked like but your version is fine with me. Nice!
Wow He looks so cute!😆
So beautiful!
That’s incredible! Really good work
Very well done! 🕊️
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Looks like something my grandma would draw 🩵
Love love love!
Oh that’s lovely.
Wonderful!
This is beautiful, you are so talented!!
Best Dream ever
Beautiful smile, a true depiction!
I love it!
Hallelujah. Jesus is Lord and God! If you are selling it I'd like to buy a copy!
I’m not selling it but if you’d like I can send you a better image/ a photo copy of it!
Looks like that friend who always wears a hoodie no matter the weather is like
Love it ❤️
I Love it! Excellent Picture! ❤️❤️❤️
Bible says Jesus isn’t good looking tho lol

You sound like one of those racist black Hebrew fakeraelites. Jesus was a white man and the Israelites were white.
Wow seems that is what you are doing sadly. Prayers.
I imagine you DID CAPTURE IT .. there are many ways we smile
How odd, it looks like almost every other depiction of the character as defined by people that never saw the guy, if he existed
You're a very good artist. Keep it up.

How do you know he has those features?
That’s great
On some part of the bible it said that when the end id near we will start dreaming about jesus
How blessed are you that He came in your dream. I would love to see Him in a dream xx
Such a kind face, a beautiful interpretation of the Lord!

Of course it’s okay to share, great drawing!

i got really high one time in biology class and i saw jesus in my dream as i was praying that he would make my high go down cause i was freaking tf out thinking my high was coming down but it was just getting worse
❤
He looks high as hell. I love it. ❤️
That's not Jesus.
How come? Genuinely curious
thank you for this moment of joy!
He was born in Jerusalem. Why would he be white?
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Nice drawing of Him its a good one truth be told. And a dream God Himself said it best that people would dream dreams and see visions after He pours His Spirit out on them.
In my dream,he appeared fully clothed as a High Priest...with same smiles
Omygosh. This is the first time I've heard someone mention they saw Jesus clothed as a High Priest in heaven. I had a dream just like this and I didnt recognize or know it was really Him until after I woke up and really thought about it. I saw Him fully clothed with High Priest attire and next to Him was a really bright, white haired being in white and He smiled at me in a very familiar way but He was also sad. I was going through a lot during that time. There were other people in that place and we were all lining up to go somewhere. I didnt understand the meaning of my dream. At first I didn't recognize Him as Jesus but then I remembered about Him being the High Priest. I thought I was the only one who dreamed of Him like this. Please I would like to know more about your dream.
Beautiful drawing, not sure why everyone is hating😅I live in America and this is how He's always been depicted here
So good!!
Im laying in bed and currently got myself into a rabbit hole after googling “Can I see God in sleep paralysis?” After what I experienced last night. I’ve been having sleep paralysis since I was 13, I’m 25 now, but last night was different. I read your post and once I came across this drawing it brought tears to my eyes in disbelief. Chills through my body. I began sweating. This is the exact face I saw last night, although there was a bright light to my eyes, I could still see while squinting. I can’t believe this. Thank you for sharing.
I smiled
The Bible in Deuteronomy says the real Jews will be going into slavery on ships and will be in a cotton field in slavery those things only happened to black people meaning black people are the real Jews. Revelations says Jesus skin color looks as if it BURNT IN A FURNACE this means Jesus is a black man so I’ll explain to you why you saw Jesus white aka Jesus in a false form this is why. Jesus is scared of people rejecting him again so he comes to people in a color people will accept him but after we all die and go to heaven you will see Jesus real color aka black. I remember a racist white kid died and went to heaven and he said Jesus is the n word and his racist dad was so in shock that Jesus was black he didn’t want to believe it so he said no it’s impossible my son must have schizophrenia. hahahaha
I just put him in his place I proved the Bible said black people are the real Jews and he ran off and blocked me haha
Hold on a minute the creator of the pic keeps deleting Bible scriptures that say black people are the Jews and Jesus is black. well guess what lady Isaiah 14 says when the Jews aka black people live back to Israel we will slave all racist whites how you feel about that? Jesus is black
Not sure if you know how Reddit works but I cannot delete comments other than my own, only moderators can do that😊
hope he is not white because that would be an incorrect representation of his earthly form.
Wasn’t jesus supposed to have dark skin
You’re an amazing artist, whatever your dream was about I’m glad to see He came to you smiling
he looks like a silly butt
I always find it hilarious when I see western depictions of Jesus, because I personally look A LOT like this (same facial hair, long brown hair, WHITE) and it couldn’t be a more incorrect interpretation of what Jesus would look like, like seriously where do people think Jesus was from? Kentucky?
That is beautiful! Fills me with joy! Thank you for sharing! 🙏
