"Steve Coerper - Image
of Jesus/Visible Proof of Jesus"
With regard to the image of "Jesus," I
think it looks more like Matriya. The eyes aren't as
compassionate as I'd seen in Jesus when I was eight years old.
Yes, Jesus came and stood at the foot of my bed when I was eight
years old. I was in the hospital, dying of pneumonia, when
Jesus came and just stood at the foot of my bed. He didn't
say a word, but, oh, the compassion and gentleness I saw in His
eyes will always be etched in my memory. I told my mom
that night that I wasn't going to die because Jesus told me
so. Like I said, He didn't say a word, but I knew He was
there to encourage and comfort me. His smile was so
beautiful. I praise God that He allowed me to see
Jesus. I am so stubborn and such a skeptic that God knew I
would need visible proof in order to believe. And man, did
He give it!!!
I've never doubted. Although I turned away from God during
my teen years, when I came back to Him at the age of 19, and
then returned at the age of 30 (another story in the midst of
those years), I've never looked back and I've never
doubted. I love Jesus with all my heart.
Do you know that THE reward of Christianity is not just eternal
life, is not just Heaven, is not just no tears, pain, etc.
THE reward of Christianity is...CHRIST! Oh, to KNOW Him
and understand Him and just to HAVE Him in my life is all I
need.
So, what is Jesus to YOU?
