Who is this Jesus?

There is a Celtic prayer of blessing I say once in a while that asks God to help us see the Face of Christ in those we meet, and pray that they see the Face of Christ in us.

That makes me wonder, Pilate once asked, "Who is this Jesus, why is He different"?

This question has been the central question of our Faith for Centuries. Now all around the world as people who are just trying to survive look at richly blessed American Christians - Who is the Jesus they see?  Do they see the Gentle Teacher of the Beatitudes, or do they see the American Christ? 

I am sadly afraid it is more the latter than the former.

I LOVE that picture. Suitable for framing I think.
