I grew up with images of Jesus as a man with flowing golden brown hair and beard, blue eyes and very WASPish face. While I know now that this is neither culturally or politically correct, it is still my go-to image.
At our church, there is a new image of Jesus made available to the young people. It is a huge statute of him in a paved garden area with a water feature behind him. The statute was placed first and it was gigantic. Everyone said it would be in proportion once the hardscape and landscape was built around him. It is still huge. To me the statute looks more like Gandolf from
the Lord of the Rings. Any way, let me present "Scary Jesus!"
