Have you got a crayola Jesus?


A talk at my home church on Sunday made this challenge part way through. Looking at Revelation 1 and who Jesus is we were challenged by Gary Aston, Our guest speaker from Pontefract to think about who Jesus really is not just who we want him to be. In revelation 1 it describes "Christs face shining like the sun in all its brilliance". He started to make the anaology that if you ask a kid to draw a sun they will pick up a yellow crayon and make a circle and maybe a few lines coming from it. But if you ask a scientist to describe the sun they will tell you that its a ball of chemical reactions so hot that nothing natural could survive in it. Its the centre of the universe and the planets around it are in perfect balance because of it. If it wasnt there neither would we be.

So have you got a crayola Jesus or do we really realise who he really is?
