(Excuse me....how many??)<BR/><BR/>There's also the problem with being "married" to a certain image of Jesus, especially one created by man. We have to be extremely careful that we do not embrace any image more than we embrace the true Jesus. There are commandments about such things.<BR/><BR/>Having said all that, we are going to continue to fall short in our understanding of God's Word completely. He reveals things as we go forward, in His timing, and we will not know everything until we truly do see Him. But, we need to be true to what we do know is truth.<BR/><BR/>Your artwork really helps make this post come to life. And that two of my buds are featured doesn't hurt things either.<BR/><BR/>Looking and sounding good all around, now, Edie!!Sue J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08668691234427771146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-22875098160938771172009-03-19T10:21:00.000-05:002009-03-19T10:21:00.000-05:00Great post Edie.

No one really has an acurate picture of Him (no cameras back then :O)... plus, as God who we know is spirit, and Jesus is God too even though He walked in flesh on the earth... well, I've just read several missionary testimonies where the natives couldn't connect to the tangible expression of the westernized/American pictures/ideas of Jesus; A Jesus who is also supposed to be their Savior too. I love that Jesus speaks every language and knows every person no matter the color, tribe, or region they are in.

At first I was thinking of Beth Moore's Daniel study - about 'IMAGE BUILDING' - how we are always trying to build our images into something we are really not - to impress others. <BR/><BR/>But as I read further in your post I saw where you were going with it. DETAIL! Our God is a God of DETAIL! Not one iota in His Word is there at random - everyting is connected. I loved your ending where you point out: 'Accurate representation'. THAT is what all of us [in Christ] should be about!<BR/><BR/>I am one who is a stickler for details. I hate when I spell a word wrong on a comment post - it's that bad!<BR/><BR/>But as you point out and other saw too - with God and His Word - there is NO COMPROMISE!<BR/><BR/>BTW: Your characatures [did I spell that right?] are precious!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post today.<BR/><BR/>Looking UPward and Choosing JOY,<BR/>Stephanie<BR/>[Time to FLY]TRUTH SHARERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069583768409534620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-20247165227539551432009-03-18T11:44:00.000-05:002009-03-18T11:44:00.000-05:00Jesus' coming was foretold and all the prophesy ca...Jesus' coming was foretold and all the prophesy came true.

Some things I'm less concerned about, but when it comes to God's Word, I hope to always be accurate with my thoughts and interpretation. It's never my intent to "get it wrong", but I'm sure there are times that I do.<BR/><BR/>Also loved your drawings.
