"They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads." Revelation 22:4

I was teaching a class last week on real life heroes. I asked the children, aged 7, to draw their hero or heroine. Some children got right to it and began drawing either their parents or in one case, an uncle who was a soldier in the army. One girl, however, sat with a perplexed look on her face. I went over and kneeled down to ask her what was troubling her. She replied,

“How do you know what God looks like?”

An excellent question I thought and told her to draw when she imagined him to look like. I was interested to read however that Forensic Scientists have revealed the most ‘real’ face of Jesus ever according to their research and reconstruction. Obviously no one alive has seen the face of Jesus but many artists have tried to capture what they imagine what he would look like. My personal favour is by a child prodigy called Akiane who drew this picture when she was aged 8.

The best way to see the face of Jesus though is to plan to be there with him in heaven. Why don’t you make that your desire?
