I often think I really hope Jesus will be giving me a hug and welcoming me when The time comes, or that when I am in a horrible mental spot, He is smiling down knowing everything will be ok and comforting me... however not all believe that He will be smiling and ultra forgiving....Specifically I would love to think that Jesus is the compassionate, forgiving, and welcoming smiling Jesus many believe who when we sin smiles and says it's ok...rather then the stern judgemental "get away from me, I never knew you".Jesus that other portray. I know ultimately He is both, however how are you confident He is what you believe?

* This one is part of a series called "Welcome Home", and I have a print hanging on the bathroom wall. The artist's name is Danny Halbohn, and I met him at a show in Pompano Beach, Florida. I used to use this as my avatar. I was struck by the welcome from the Father and Holy Spirit as well as the Son.
