Images

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is something to images from an unknown author.

During and after the reign of Augustus Caesar, several images of him carved on marble and bronze sculpture have since survived, the most for any Roman emperor. Most of them portrayed him as young and athletic though he lived to be 75. At the height of his reign, he was feared among the nations, and many etched his memory in stone for all to see. 

Yet during this time, Jesus was born, and though He was the Son of God and King of Kings, He chose to have no portrait of Himself nor a statue erected in His honor. Humanity did not fall in love with a face when it came to Jesus; instead, they fell in love with His character. His love blazed through the hearts of men and women and caught the world on fire. His humility is forever etched in the hearts of all who call on His name.

 So while marble and stone may deteriorate and lose the essence of the so-called great men and women in history, the name of Jesus stands forever immortalized in our hearts and minds.
