What Did Jesus Christ Actually Look Like? | The Catholic Talk Show

Truth is Jonathan portrays Jesus so well because of his frequenting confession and the Eucharist in preparation to play the roll. He has a prayer life, so Jesus shows through him. ❤️

Jesus must have been very physically strong. He worked with his hands as a Carpenter and a Fisherman. It still took three hours to kill him after the scourging which would put anyone in intensive care. He must have been a very robust Man who walked great distances constantly. Remember his 40 days in the Desert. Jesus was a very physically strong Man. Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus!!

[@TheCaliforniacajun]

Paula Diroshea Fernando Thats why I stated he must of been very robust! He worked as a Carpenter and a Fisherman, was constantly walking, fasted etc! He was fully human which means his body functioned like a Mans body! We also know he liked to eat! The New Testament is full of stories were they are gathered to eat! A lot of People would of died after the whipping! Today a person would be in intensive care after that! He did need help Getting the Cross to his execution from loss of blood and dehydration! Tuff human being!! He died by suffocating ultimately! As for the “ Creed” you read it again! Don’t be arrogant because someone has an opinion that differs from yours! Remember we are made in His “ image and likeness”!

[@TheCaliforniacajun]

Paula Diroshea Fernando I never said he wasn’t God and Man at the same time! Problem is you can’t kill God... So during his time here on earth he was totally human with supernatural powers! But.., those supernatural powers had NOTHING to do with his Passion. Otherwise it would mean nothing! What matters most is his resurrection! Without that his death is meaningless! Have a glass of wine and relax! You are not educating anyone just preaching!

[@TheCaliforniacajun]

Paula Diroshea Fernando Your preaching your the choir! Your off on collateral beliefs! I thought we were talking about weather or not he was human while on earth and during his Passion! Well... He bled didn’t he, he collapsed 3 times after the scourging, he died didn’t he ? So I rest my case! He was God incarnate on earth! Bible 101!

@Samy Nia This is a correct image of Jesus, as I believe the shroud is valid as the burial cloth of Jesus. The image on the shroud shows that the man's face was beaten very badly, and is terribly swollen, an Armenian artist has painted a picture from the shroud taking the swelling into account, so I would say It is as close to the truth as you may get.

The Caspians (Persian: کاسپی‌ها, Kaspyn; Greek: Κάσπιοι, Káspioi; Aramaic: ܟܣܦܝ, kspy; Old Armenian: Կասպք, Kaspk’;[1] Latin: Caspi, Caspiani) were a people of antiquity who dwelt along the southwestern shores of the Caspian Sea, in the region known as Caspiane.[2] Caspian is the English version of the Greek ethnonym Kaspioi, mentioned twice by Herodotus among the Achaemenid satrapies of Darius the Great[3] and applied by Strabo.[4] The name is not attested in Old Iranian.[5] The Caspians have generally been regarded as a pre-Indo-European people. They have been identified by Ernst Herzfeld with the Kassites,[6] who spoke a language not identified with any other known language group and whose origins have long been the subject of debate. However, onomastic evidence bearing on this point has been discovered in Aramaic papyri from Egypt published by P. Grelot,[7] in which several of the Caspian names that are mentioned-and identified under the gentilic כספי kaspai-are, in part, etymologically Iranian. The Caspians of the Egyptian papyri are therefore generally considered as either an Iranian people or strongly under Iranian cultural influence.[5] In the 5th century BC, during the Persian rule in Egypt, a regiment (Aramaic degel) of Caspians was stationed in Elephantine, as attested in the Elephantine papyri. They are called kspy in Aramaic and shared their regiment with Khwarezmians, Bactrians and other Iranian peoples. They were not the only garrison on Elephantine. There was also a regiment of Jews.[8] The Caspians are called Caspiani in Mela's De situ orbis, Caspi in Pliny's Natural History, and Caspiadae in Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica. In the last work, the Caspians are allies of King Perses of Colchis and appear amongst the Scythian peoples. They are said to have fighting dogs that they take to their graves. This might in fact reflect a variant of the Zoroastrian custom of sky burial, one in which the deceased is left for the dogs to devour.[9] The Caspiadeans reappear in the medieval Historia de via Hierosolymitana among the people arrayed against the forces of the First Crusade (1096-1099). The anonymous poet, drawing on Flaccus, probably sought to connect the Seljuk Turks, the Crusaders' actual enemy, with the ancient Scythians.

[@kylespectra6685]

@@johnbrowne3950 Absolutely true, but Catholicism is the true faith, per Matthew 16:18, and in John 6 when Jesus commands the Eucharist to be celebrated.

[@kylespectra6685]

@@johnbrowne3950 The Catholic Church never has stated we crucify Christ again on the cross, and you won't find any theological book, or catechism that states Jesus is recrucified in Calvary again. When Jesus states do this in memombrance of me, the Greek word used there is anamnesis(biblehub.com/greek/364.htm) which per this Greek lexicon(by Protestants by the way) can also mean a memorial sacrifice; which is interesting b/c every time it's mentioned in the Old Testament, it's used in a sacrificial context. In the Protestant King James Version(www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+10%3A14-21&version=KJV), Paul clearly distinguishes between the "sacrifices of demons", and the sacrifice that is offered in the mass. He actually turns his body into bread and wine, and the context itself(in John 6) when speaking of bread supports this. This again is from the King James Version. And I quote "47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum." You can clearly see the Jews themselves saw this literally, and Jesus never corrected them, as he did when speaking in the Temple or among his companions. He affirms quite clearly when speaking of the bread, and his blood that it is quite literal. And the interesting thing is, the early Christians(before Constantine's grandfather was even born) spoke of this; it's not a later innovation by Catholics, or the Church getting it from pagans. It's actually spoken outrightly in clear terms by early Christian writers that Jesus meant a real presence; and if we are going after Constantine, the very men the "Reformers" quote like Sts. Augustine, John Chrysostom, etc all teach the same doctrine and affirm a Real Presence. So not only is your position not based on scripture, from a historical perspective, it cannot be found in the early Christian Church.

[@kylespectra6685]

@@johnbrowne3950 I asked for a dogmatic canon, or any dogmatic proclamation from the Church, you didn't give me any. I never denied a sacrifice occurs, but it is a memorial sacrifice. Anamnesis can be interpreted as a memorial sacrifice, and the earliest Christians(including the disciples of the Apostles) affirmed that the Eucharist celebration was a sacrifice that occurred. It doesn't mean that transubstantiation doesn't occur. Interestingly enough, in Revelations 5, the Lamb, which is God, also appears that he is slain. And the 1 Cor verse I quoted clearly evidences the context Paul thinks of with regard to the Eucharist is a mass. What your doing here is positing an either-or-fallacy, where one thing is x, or x? Yet, that isn't the case, for we affirm once more that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is finished, yet we follow the command of Our Lord, when the priest does a memorial sacrifice, an anamnesis. The teaching on transubstination is "the change of the whole substance of bread into the substance of the Body of Christ and of the whole substance of wine into the substance of his Blood." while still being under the appeareances of bread and wine. In John 6:50-53, we encounter the Greek verb phago, which means eating, yet, in v.54 wnhe he speaks of his flesh and blood, John uses the word trogo, which means to "chew on" and to "gnaw on", which in Greek would have been used to refer to animals eating. The last time phago is used is in John 6:53 when Jesus says 53 "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you."(KJV). After that, he uses trogo. My sources are these online Protestant lexicons here(www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?page=2&strongs=g5315&t=kjv#lexResults) and (www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?t=kjv&strongs=g5176). Also, in John 6:58 when both of them appear together, trogo is used when Jesus states "those who eat of the manna(bread) of life will live forever", and my source is the Textus Receptus, the Greek New Testament that is used when the KJV was first published. Here it is: (www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/NTpdf/joh6.pdf) Go to v.58. and you see that ephagon is used for "ate" in the context of those who eat the manna from the desert, and trOgOn is used literally. Where phago can mean a metaphorical context, trogon in the Greek is a stronger verb of the word "eat" and there is no metaphorical context that applies. So what we have here is this: 1)The Greek word anamanesis when Jesus says "do this in memory of me" can mean a memorial sacrifice; you haven't shown any dogmatic statement or source where the Church says we resacrifice Christ on the Cross. I'm not aware of any major Protestant apologist like James White or John Piper even making that claim. Usually, they will still deny a sacrifice, but afaik, in their debates with Catholics(especially James White, probably the most prominent apologist who debates Catholics), he never once says that we recrucify Jesus on the cross. 2)In John 6, Jesus clearly in the context affirms(as I quoted earlier using the Protestant King James Version) that he means a literal change happens and the bread becomes his body, and the wine his blood. I also showed 1 Cor where Paul is clearly speaking of it in a sacrifical context, and iirc, I quoted the King James Version. Also, Catholicism isn't against a spiritual presence of Christ, but we also affirm a real presence as well. Both can be affirmed. 3)The sentence you posted here that "And of course you can't keep Jesus in a tabernacle in every church. Jesus sits at the right hand of the father in heaven and belongs in the hearts of all those who claim Him as Saviour and Lord." is something that I'm curious about. Jesus can appear to his believers, while still reigning with the Father in heaven. We have never claimed that Jesus leaves heaven when the Eucharist becomes the body and blood. Furthermore, his real presence in the Eucharist doesn't deny that he sits in the right hand of the father. We also affirm he belongs to the hearts of all those who confess him as savior and Lord and wants their salvation. Also, one statement got my eye here sir. You stated "You can't have it both ways. So if Jesus made the Mass a real miracle it would be His real flesh and blood. But, of course, nothing changes on that altar. So it stands to reason Jesus was speaking metaphorically because He cannot lie." Our Lord, as God of all creation(Hebrews 1), and the image of the invisibel God(Collosians 1:18) is fully within his power to be able to have his body and blood still be under the appearance of bread and wine. It is not something that is impossible. To address your statement, you also stated("If the left over bread has been actually turned into flesh then all other sacrifices which claim, through transsubstantion, to turn the bread and wine into flesh and blood are fake.)", you this is founded on the belief that another memorial sacrifice cannot occur; but that isn't the case.

[@johnschuh8616]

I have read a complaint from an Aramaic speaking man about Jonathan’s accent. As a matter of fact, since the language was the lingua franca of much of that part of Asia until after the Islamic conquest it was displaced by Arabic, we can know how he pronounced the words. Anyone familiar with “My Fair Lady” and with the early scenes in which professor Higgins is demonstrating his command of linguistics, he learn that the English spoken by the people changed with every neighborhood. in London, and within miles outside London, and of course was spoken differently according to class. Jesus would have read Hebrew but the way it was pronounced would have been influenced by the language he spoke daily. He spoke Aramaic but as he and his neighbors spoke it. When he moved to the area of the Sea of Galilee, his first hearers would have noticed him as from coming elsewhere. Now consider we are now almost 2000 years later, and despite all efforts to preserve the language of that time, unlikely that any Aramaic speaker today would have pronounced words the same was as Jesus.

I watch Jonathan Roumie in "The Chosen" a lot, especially when I am trying to fall asleep. It's on my JESUS CHRIST playlist, which is just before this video. There is something about his voice that makes me feel that it would have been the way JESUS would have spoken if He spoke English. Years ago, after listening to a discussion regarding what JESUS looked like, I prayed and asked GOD for an image of JESUS when He was a Man on Earth. Afterwards, I saw an image of Him and He looked like Jonathan Roumie except that JESUS was darker and His hair was kinky wavy and long (just below His shoulder). HIS skin complexion looked like the Bible's description (Brass or Bronze, depending on which Bible version one is reading).

Jonathan Roumie, it is evident that the Holy Spirit has guided you in your portrayal of Jesus in The Chosen! From the very first episode, it touched me and made me take a deeper dive into scripture! My relationship with Christ has increased, and I thank The Chosen for this! May God continue to bless and guide you as your portrayal continues to win souls for God!

[@isabelvazquez3252]

This episode tug at so many heart strings 🥰 The “Our Father” brought me to tears 😭 May God continue to bless you in reaching many through this platform 🙏🏽

[@jamesrobiscoe1174]

Jonathan Roumie shows the straight lines between the soul dedicated to Jesus and the behavior and actions that follow. He's a true disciple of Christ. Listening to him extemporize is better than a lot of sermons (called homilies) I hear that all but blow out the flame within.

[@Bebe1113]

Thank you, Catholic Talk Show for sharing your knowledge of all things Catholic. I appreciate the varied and interesting topics you cover and the well-researched information that Ryan Scheel brings to the table for discussion. I've been a practicing Catholic for over 70 years and thanks to you wonderful guys I am still learning new and beautiful things about my faith with every episode. By the way, I love the humor among you all, which is always appropriate and helps discussions from ever becoming a bit stuffy. Lastly, Jonathan Roumie is such a talented man and yes, he does look very much like what I imagine Our Lord did/does! It was such a treat to see him on your show! Thanks again and may God bless you all.

[@Stroudtucson]

I enjoyed this so much. GREAT show. I was looking for interviews with Jonathan Roumie because I have fallen in love with the TV series The Chosen and it has reignited my faith in a big way. It is mind-blowing that there seems to be a physical similarity between the face on the Shroud of Turin and Jonathan's face, and there are so many things that point to the idea that God had this role in mind for him all along; even from when he was a child of 11 and built a cross in his backyard and hung on it. The Divine Mercy icon picture that showed up on his mailbox is a really powerful story also--Holy Mail as was mentioned here. The Holy Spirit works in and through us if we open ourselves up to it and Jonathan does that every day. His recitation of Our Father in Aramaic just had me weeping. Wow.

[@Linda-lo4oy]

Thank you for a comical yet informative talk. It is wonderful to have the scriptures come to life. It is nice, knowing how much work is put into making sure it is truth as fact allows. I love that people who seldom study scripture have another avenue to learn of the Lord and need for a relationship with Him. I have so enjoyed watching the Chosen, looking forward to more. Yet, apprehensive knowing where it will lead. I still have scenes of the Passion of Christ in my head. I imagine those scenes are the hardest for all the crew to perform. I admire all of you for your part in God's service. Thank you.

[@erin0719]

I also cried, like many here, when Jonathan was praying the Our Father, for a moment it was like really listening to Jesus, listening His voice, and realising He knows us, wow 🙏🏼

[@Stephensofceea]

Looking at Jonathan is giving me chills.

[@CatholicTalkShow]

Right? Being serious Catholic boys and talking to him in the studio was a surreal experience.

[@mrs.g.9816]

I'm an Episcopalian, but I really enjoyed this podcast! I was curious about this video's topic. I know Jesus has been represented in different ways all around the world. As a little girl, I saw and liked two depictions of the Holy Family: One from Nigeria and one from China or Taiwan. I agree - It really doesn't matter what Jesus looks like. It's who He is. It's His divine goodness and love. I know that once I meet Jesus in Heaven, I would recognize Him! BTW - I love The Chosen series. Way before I've watched this video, I've been praying for Jonathan, Dallas, all the other actors and the crew, too. May they all live long and stay well. May God continue to guide them all and bless their good work!

[@NikMarRita]

The Our Father. I felt that. ❤️

[@cherrylsagan63]

This is the first time I’ve even seen your show. It will definitely be seen by me again. It is so refreshing to hear down-to-earth talk about the Catholic faith and Jesus. Thank you.

[@fayethelightworker2975]

I have numerous spiritual gifts since a kid. I am blessed to have seen "The Sacred Heart of Jesus" when I was probably 9 y.o. He looked like that one exact image of Jesus of the Sacred Heart. The one I saw was just an all blood red color. Its like a big painting of His face on the sky. There are several versions of that image. He has actually a beautiful face & having a shoulder length hair. When I saw it at first,, I am quiet scared and mesmerized at the same time. He has a compassionate eyes but His eyes reflect a strict and stern looked too.Just believe it or not! God bls us all. 😍🙏🇵🇭

[@susancastner7332]

I have so enjoyed this talk. I came to Jesus at 24 years and I'm now 76. But I have been in protestant pentecostal churches. I know nothing of the catholic church. Isn't it awesome how Jesus is bringing us together... and messianic jews.

[@rosythomas3267]

It's a beautiful talk show. Jonathan keep it up. Jesus loves you very dearly.

[@jaynestowe598]

Jonathon is the perfect choice to play Jesus…he touches my soul.

[@kevingleeson]

Great show! Would have loved to see the images you were discussing.

[@jondoe5244]

Times are gonna change soon. Love, The Lamb

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

I think Jonathan has great physicality and masculinity combined with compassion and gentleness

[@lexluther48]

You guys should invite Father Mike Schmitz

[@tyler9863]

Alexander Torres Father Mike is awesome. I would love to see him as a guest too!

[@tammygill791]

I agree

[@celestialblissfulness]

Yes! Please

[@fernandooliveirafo]

I agree

[@dianeuecker5186]

I also would like to see Fr. Mike, I am doing the "Bible in a year" & I am truly loving it.

[@lindacalhoun2917]

I'm 75 years old and I was out touched . God has blessed you Jonathan. God Bless you.

[@aureliacardiff5165]

I cried when Jonathan said the Our Father in Aramaic, it was a powerful moment! Blessings to you at The Catholic Show and to Jonathan Roumie (now interpreting Yeshua in the Chosen show!!)

[@monamendiola1]

Where is that can't find it

[@allmightlionthunder5515]

The Caspians (Persian: کاسپی‌ها, Kaspyn; Greek: Κάσπιοι, Káspioi; Aramaic: ܟܣܦܝ, kspy; Old Armenian: Կասպք, Kaspk’;[1] Latin: Caspi, Caspiani) were a people of antiquity who dwelt along the southwestern shores of the Caspian Sea, in the region known as Caspiane.[2] Caspian is the English version of the Greek ethnonym Kaspioi, mentioned twice by Herodotus among the Achaemenid satrapies of Darius the Great[3] and applied by Strabo.[4] The name is not attested in Old Iranian.[5] The Caspians have generally been regarded as a pre-Indo-European people. They have been identified by Ernst Herzfeld with the Kassites,[6] who spoke a language not identified with any other known language group and whose origins have long been the subject of debate. However, onomastic evidence bearing on this point has been discovered in Aramaic papyri from Egypt published by P. Grelot,[7] in which several of the Caspian names that are mentioned-and identified under the gentilic כספי kaspai-are, in part, etymologically Iranian. The Caspians of the Egyptian papyri are therefore generally considered as either an Iranian people or strongly under Iranian cultural influence.[5] Aramaic In the 5th century BC, during the Persian rule in Egypt, a regiment (Aramaic degel) of Caspians was stationed in Elephantine, as attested in the Elephantine papyri. They are called kspy in Aramaic and shared their regiment with Khwarezmians, Bactrians and other Iranian peoples. They were not the only garrison on Elephantine. There was also a regiment of Jews.[8] The Caspians are called Caspiani in Mela's De situ orbis, Caspi in Pliny's Natural History, and Caspiadae in Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica. In the last work, the Caspians are allies of King Perses of Colchis and appear amongst the Scythian peoples. They are said to have fighting dogs that they take to their graves. This might in fact reflect a variant of the Zoroastrian custom of sky burial, one in which the deceased is left for the dogs to devour.[9] The Caspiadeans reappear in the medieval Historia de via Hierosolymitana among the people arrayed against the forces of the First Crusade (1096-1099). The anonymous poet, drawing on Flaccus, probably sought to connect the Seljuk Turks, the Crusaders' actual enemy, with the ancient Scythians.

[@jlopez-showalter3846]

Fr. Pagano...you spoke for me. Jonathan really does have a peaceful look about. Evan better is his voice when he does an middle eastern accent. I watch the chosen to fall asleep these days because Jonathan's Jesus voice is so calming.

[@julietsamudio3249]

I hope you get to invite Jonathan Roumie again and talk about The Chosen, please.

[@karendewitt9614]

I saw the shroud of Turin when I lived there, and I can tell you that not only was the presence of the Lord so powerful there, Jonathan looks very much like Jesus’ imprint from the shroud.

[@christinebrand5147]

What a powerful episode. The "Our Father" in Aramaic. I have been a fan from the beginning. Keep up the great work.

[@tricianobis8338]

I got goosebumps during the Aramaic Our Father. Jonathan Roumie was born to play the role of Jesus. Who knows,after he has played Jesus enough times,maybe God will call him to be a monk or priest. His life is already such that people are able to connect to Jesus even better through watching and listening to him. What a beautiful,holy man Jonathan is.❤️

[@kevinoconnor8749]

A gift from God that we can partake in the same Prayer across time and space

[@elizabethcronin3074]

Just watched this- what a great show! Jonathan’s Faith in action is amazing! The Aramaic ‘Our Father’ was like something out of this world! Finally watched the 1st season of The Chosen these past 4 days & the Christmas movie today. I’m hooked! 🙏🐠

[@crocecicio5783]

Seeing Jonathn on your show. Made me feel like I was really. In Jesus presence it enlighten me. And brought peace to my heart Thank you. So much for the prevliege of viewing. It. I think He is so Awsome to look like our Lord Jesus Christ God blessing on him. Always. From Alabama

[@christinetracy7720]

That “Our Father” was deeply moving.

[@christinetracy7720]

I actually subscribed for the app right after hearing this, I love it !

[@enidsequeira2222]

Thank you all in this talk show, I'm glued with inspiration and reconfirmed in my faith watching and hearing every bit of the talk show.Voice of Jonathan is truly an experience of hearing God live.Amazing and accurate Jesus in Jonathan.

Loved the talk with Johnathan whose plays Jesus. Watched season 1 one the Chosen and he was perfect for the part of Jesus!

I loved the chosen series and it certainly caused a lot of emotion, tears, peace, joy. It's unexplainable.

Awesome episode with Jonathan Roumie! God bless you and your apostolate!

[@marygoldkamp1416]

This was so wonderful. Thank you. (Thaddeus/Jude was the Apostle who was sent to the king of Odessa with the cloth this is why depictions of St. Jude is most always pictured with an impression of Christ's face.)

[@hey.hombre]

Jonathon Roumie looks like the face from the Shroud of Turin. Amazing.

[@JP2GiannaT]

What's really trippy is sometimes he wears a shirt with the shroud of Turin on it.

[@beatricemcdonald8247]

Saying that prayer in JESUS language was Beautiful and that was an understatement God Bless you.

[@taraf3485]

The Prince of Pease painting by the young girl Aikaine looks amazingly like Jonathan. I believe it is a modern day miracle. The gift this little girl has been given is amazing. The little boy the the book' Heaven is for Real verified that that is the Jesus he saw in his near-death experience. The book and movie are both amazing. I feel like Jesus is trying to reach many people in our generation by speaking to us through these children.

[@Dominique8817]

Okay 🥹 Jonathan brought me to TEARS, praying the Our Father in Aramaic. That was a gift to hear thank you for how well you play our Lord and Saviour. Thank you for your integrity and how humble you are. There’s a weight on your shoulders to do the Prince of Peace justice, but you carry the weight so well you make it look easy. My Ma is Irish English too but my Da’s Irish so that’s the end of that! God bless you all I loved listening and watching thank you 🙏🏼 I’ve ss the time so I can listen to that back whenever I need to 🙏🏼

[@moriahmorgan5983]

I’ve seen so many images from seers and all the descriptions people have from dreams and all are different (some similarities.) Some people say it doesn’t matter, but it does. Not so much of what He looks like but seeing the One who loves me so much, more than anybody could love me. I look forward to the day when I will see Him face to face and see Him as He is.

[@maureenlang4949]

I seen him in the sky after my daughters step dad passed away on Fathers day 2013, I was so sad, I looked up in the clouds ,Jesus is real . Once again as a teenager I saw him, Very peaceful looking, kind ,loving shoulder length hair .Jesus is real people, Seek him .

[@land417]

It doesn't matter what he looked like. It varies because people naturally want his image to reflect whatever they are. So the image isn't really important, it's the energy and message beneath it.

[@maryrosefahy2450]

Thank you for this great Video! I am happy to see it for the first time! I would say , Jonathan, you do look like Jesus with your Olive completion, piercing dark eyes, your voice and acting Jesus! You are Blessed among all men for The Lord has Chosen you to be His Representative . May He continues to lead you on💕🕊👏

[@jeffreygura8171]

Thank you for sharing this interview from a few years ago. Keep up your ministry for our Lord Jesus Christ, Jonathan! You are definitely chosen by Him to do this...your portrayal as the Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Mary, is the most beautiful realistic portrayal we have ever seen! Truly inspired by the Holy Spirit! Our Father in Aramaic felt like our Lord praying it. Powerful! Holy Face of Jesus prayer is so great! We will look for it. Thanks Father!

[@patriciamendez2209]

Hello guys! Hi Father! Ok. So once on a Holy Thursday my husband the 2 kids and the one in my belly went to mass and to see the play that our parish presents to us on Holy week. This was my first time coming to back to mass since being rebellious . (Thats another story) any ways we were waking fast to get a good seat and all the entrances were being blocked so we kept trying to find anothet entrance. And when we were trying to be sneaky and go through the back......i was blocked by the guy that was playing Jesus!!!!😳 i was SURPRISED! SHOCKED!! EMBARRASSED! HAPPY! All kinds of feelings! And it stuck with me! Since then I've just thought imagine if it would have really been?! It made me think! Am i ready to meet him?! 😬 Let me tell you its slowed me down!!

[@cynthiamartinez3192]
