If it makes people think of Jesus from picture then while thinking say a pray with meaning. It is a good thing. I asked when I was young for God if he is really there could he show me where I will know that I know for sure he exists. The things that preceded after that were miraculous. Just amazing. The littlest pray with conviction can lead to Heaven . Amen. Praise be to Jesus.

I understand your thinking and agree with it.

When I lived in Saudi Arabia I saw that the Muslims DID know about Jesus, ISSA.
They showed their "respect" by having stores named after him--Issa's market. I saw "Issa cookies" too. There were no blasphemous use of His name but...c'mon.

I would be leery of that kind of cavalier use of Jesus' name and image: too casual.
The giant Cross? That IS inspiring because it is a THING, NOT a chalk drawing of God to be washed away, erased and/or misused. We have enough of that already from the Jesus-haters.

Am I picking just too many nits? If so, I apologize.

A blessed Easter to you and yours.

That's great...for the person already a Christian.

But how about the person who's not a Christian? The person who has never REALLY heard the gospel. All they TRULY know, is that they have mocked some guy named Jesus and his followers.

Do you really think people, totally unfamiliar with Jesus, see Jesus, or just some guy with long hair and a beard? Do they see followers of Jesus as Christ like, even though they don't know Christ or what he's like? Or do they see some religious nuts trying to SELL people their religion?

I think you can buy a toaster that’ll put an image of ‘jesus’ on bread.
