I thought about what Easter means to me. And invariably Christ’s face appeared in my mind. One should know that I have a Jesus image in my mind that has been cultivated over fifty some odd years. As I study it I am amazed. Now one (Jonhny-come-lately) version of the Jesus imprint has more recently been identified as Jesus who was wrapped in the linen cloth of the Shroud of Turin when He was crucified. And the linen clothes were tediously verified over the next several years. They have been sealed in Italy and are taken out to examine on rare occasion.

So I theoretically I should be able to look at the Shroud of Turin and get an inkling of how Christ face must have looked. I see an image of suffering. He was not an imposing figure on this burial cloth and I know from reading the Bible that He was compassionate and his faith was unconditional forgiveness. It’s hard to look at but the Shroud is supposed to be an image of Christ; it appears that Jesus was savagely tortured and even had the backs of his legs badly beaten The life-size image of Jesus burned into the cloth is front and back.

I get teary eyed when I visit the burial place of Jesus and try to think of the pain He had to endure and yet He loves us HE LOVES US this I know.  Have faith and take advantage of His unconditional forgiveness and abounding love. Accept Christ today.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gaveHis only begotten Son that whosoever beleiveth in Him Shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
