PERFECT PORTRAIT OF LOVE



If I painted a Portrait of Jesus
What colors would I use?

Would I paint the color of His skin as white as snow?
Or
Would I use a bronze color to make
His skin to glow?

Would I paint the color of His hair a light tone
 and a hint of gray?
Or
Would I use a dark color to hide the cuts
 His Crown of Thorns made?

Would I paint His clothes to be tattered and old?
Or
Would I paint Him wearing a long white robe?

Would I paint His shoes to be a pair of tattered sandals?
Or
Paint on His feet a pair of golden slippers?

Would I paint Him dying on the Cross?
Or
Would I paint Him standing in a crowd?

If I painted a Portrait of Jesus
I would not use colors at all

I would use the Story of Jesus' Life
so the world will see Him as
Our Savior, Our Lord
Who died upon the Cross!

A Perfect Portrait of Love
The Son of God
