april wrote some minor thoughts about jesus a bit ago. and, it seems, i must link to her all the time now.

but then, yesterday, i came across this glorious picture of Our Lord ™:

and the combination of the two things made me realize I had to tell the best Jesus portrait story I have:

Years ago, my parents were in Sunday School and the adult class was discussing the historical Jesus. And the person leading the discussion said something about how Jesus was not a white man. And a woman in their class said, “Yes, he was.”

The group looks at her and the person leading the discussion says, “What makes you say that? He was in the Middle East thousands of years ago.”

Her answer?

“I have a picture of him here in my wallet.” She produces the same image that happens to be April’s grandmother’s favorite picture of him.

I can’t even fathom people who can’t understand reality.
