The History Channel is prepping an amazing documentary for an
April 3, 2010 release, entitled "The Real Face Of Jesus." The Shroud Of
Turin,
which is the linen garment the body of Jesus is said to have been wrapped in,
after He was crucified, three days before He rose from the dead, was examined by
forensic experts, who discovered an imprint. Using modern technology, the imprint was transferred to computer to create a
digital recreation of what He is believed to look like. The computer rendered, illustrated photographs are amazing. On the one hand,
it makes you want to cry at the brutalization He endured, but at the same time,
it is a reminder of His sacrifice for humanity.
Many people have painted Jesus as blond with blue eyes, but in the photos, He
is much like the Bible describes Him - a Jewish man with wooly hair. Though He
appears somewhat pale in some photos, He also has tanned skin, due to the region
He came from and the fact He walked everywhere. I think His facial features, as
shown in the Shroud photographs are impressive. At the end of the day, when Someone so blesses your life and saves your soul,
what He looks like could never be an issue. P.S. - there is a
British actor the reconstructed face of Jesus resembles, but I am struggling
to recall his name at the moment. If I remember it, I will update the
article.
Former Miami Heat basketball player, Wayne Simien, has become a preacher. He
became a Christian in 2003. His story is a wonderful one of redemption, after he
gave up drugs, alcohol and sexual promiscuity. Five years from KU, Wayne Simien answers another
calling Posted on Sun, Feb. 28, 2010 11:16 PM - ...After
he had become a Christian on July 12, 2003, entering his junior year, there were
plenty of folks who wanted the old Wayne back. They called him “Big Dub,” and he
was once the life of the party. “As soon as I stopped doing drugs, stopped
drinking, stopped treating women badly, stopped playing selfishly on the court,
that’s when people were like, ‘Hey Wayne, what’s wrong with you? What’s going
on? I’m worried about you,’ ” Simien says. “Now you’re worried about me? After I
stopped doing all these things?” ... During that first year in Miami, Simien would meet
his wife, Katie, through some mutual friends who shared their beliefs. Wayne and
Katie met in August 2005, began dating on New Year’s Eve, became in engaged in
February and were married in July. In another statement about the way he was
choosing to live, Wayne did not kiss Katie until their wedding day. “I wasn’t a virgin when I got married,” Simien
says, “so it was just another way of wanting to honor my wife, wanting to share
that with not only her but also everybody that was at our wedding ceremony.”... |
