Offering a "New Beginning" to All Who Believe!

What did Jesus look like? From a human standpoint—wouldn’t we love to know? Maybe...maybe not. Movies over the years have shown us usually a tall man, sometimes light brown hair—long, of course. More probable, though, his hair would have been much darker given his middle eastern culture. Many times, we’ve seen him on the screen looking perhaps a little too Caucasian, and usually with a beard. Did men in the 1st century even have access to the implements to shave?

On the garden grounds of the Crystal Cathedral, there’s a bronze sculpture of Jesus that raises none of these issues or questions. The sculpture shows Jesus as a baby, a smiling infant, in Mary’s loving arms. Mary is seated on a donkey, and Joseph is leading his family back home to Israel after fleeing from Herod to Egypt immediately following His miraculous Christmas birth, which brought a “new beginning” to all who believe! What a great reminder as we begin this New Year...2012!

This beautiful face of the baby Jesus is the “Christ Portrait” (the second in a series—you’ll want to collect them all) that Hour of Power wants to send to you today. Your beautiful, full-color “Christ Portrait” measures 5” x 7” and is suitable for framing. American master sculptor, J. Seward Johnson depicted the face of the baby Jesus in glistening stainless steel so that anyone standing before this statue would see their own skin tone reflected back at them in the mirror-like surface—Jesus belongs to all people of all colors of all cultures in all places.

You’re encouraged to write to the Hour of Power TODAY to receive your very own copy of this unique image of the blessed Christ Child. This “Christ Portrait,” and the statue it depicts, is exclusive to Hour of Power viewers and friends...there is none other like it anywhere in the world.
