The Face of Jesus

 

One devotional I am following at the moment suggested I close my eyes and ask to see the face of Jesus. It gave a series of questions that would reveal what sort of character I thought God had. The final one was, ‘Can you see his face at all?’

To be honest, no. I couldn’t see his face, looking angry or pleased or bored or anything. Just a blank. What did that mean? I have no imagination? I have no faith? I don’t think he’s even there?

Then the phone rang. A good friend calling to ask about my sore foot, saying she was praying for me.

Sometimes the face of Jesus doesn’t look like a face at all.
