‘Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.’ (Revelation 3:20) This picture of Jesus standing at the door, visualizes one of the most important verses in Scripture: ‘For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.’ (Hebrews 12:2)

Jesus was able to endure the horrible suffering of the cross, because He had his eyes fixed on the joy of seeing you and me be set free from darkness and come home in His arms of love. Most Jesus paintings are very serious, but in fact Jesus Christ was filled with the wonderful JOY OF THE LORD! When He invites us to follow Him, He invites us to discover what true happiness is: being a beloved child of the Father, who is the source of life and the giver of all that is good, the one who fulfills His promises to us, and who gives us the glorious and victorious Kingdom of God. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ (John 8:12) Jesus Christ is the light of the world, who brings His light in our hearts, so we also become bright shining lights in this world. Visit the website of Greg Olson, to buy his Jesus paintings, for your home, church or office. Jesus Christ is the One who gives us true peace and joy, and who turns our darkness into bright light. Jesus Christ is the perfect image of God, showing us who God is and how we can get to know God as our Father and best Friend. When we obey His command to love one another, then His love will transform our entire being and change the world around us.

The purpose of this list of Jesus paintings is to inspire you with the person of Jesus Christ. These images of Jesus are under copyright, so be careful not to use them without obtaining written permission from the artists. But this morning I decided I was wrong.On this page you find many beautiful pictures of Jesus Christ, painted by several Christian artists worldwide. After all, he was dealing with extremely serious topics. I’ve always sort of pictured Jesus as a solemn, serious person. Can’t you just see him demonstrating that as he spoke? Personifying his hands, making them look like individuals, and hiding one behind his back while the other one pretends to drop a coin unobtrusively in the collection plate without being seen? Can’t you see his expression? I’ll bet he had them rolling in the aisles…uh, in the grass. He said, “Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” Now, that’s surely an example of hyperbole. He was telling them not to be obnoxiously public about giving to the needy. In the Sermon on the Mount there’s an example. The image of a log sticking out of someone’s eye. The whole camel-through-the-eye-of-a-needle thing. One of his favorite forms of humor was hyperbole, which is when you exaggerate something to ridiculous proportions. Do you think Jesus was any less animated than I? I doubt it. (I know I make funny faces because whenever someone snaps a picture of me while I’m speaking, I’ve always got a weird expression and my eyes are crossed and my hands are flapping above my head.) I’m pretty sure I’d be banned from speaking back then because I don’t think I could stay in my seat for the length of an entire message. When I speak, I’m all over the place, from one side of the stage to the other, waving my arms and making funny faces. I’d have a really hard time with that, because I’m a fairly animated speaker. Jesus is sitting because back in those days, people sat down to preach.
Oh, wouldn’t it be awesome to hear Him preach? He’s so peaceful, and he smiles as he speaks about salt and light, and lists off the beatitudes one at a time in his gentle voice. Before today, I’ve always pictured Jesus sitting on the top of a gently sloping hill with people gathered all around him, sitting on the grass, or maybe on a blanket they brought from home.
I was reading the Sermon on the Mount this morning, and something occurred to me.
