  • You are a awsum artist God bless you I to I'm a artist in Airbrushing. I really. Like yr work! ! Very nice

  • Amazing artist!

  • GAY JESUS

  • ...Wow. This man has a pure heart and truly understands the core of God's spirit and love.

    I don't usually say this that often, but God bless that man. Although he is already, bless him more, for more people need this point of view when looking above :)

  • What a great gift!, I'm not referring to your paintings, that also are amazing and it's beauty is unique, I´m refering to your personal testimony from our Savior, given by the Holy Ghost, the secret of your paintings come from your testimony.

    ¡Qué gran regalo!, No me refiero a sus pinturas, que también son increíbles y su belleza es única, me estoy refiriendo a su testimonio personal de nuestro Salvador, que da el Espíritu Santo, el secreto de sus cuadros proceden de su testimonio.

  • Why are the majority of the figures including Jesus white? And why do the non-whites usually have to sit in the back of the painting? |:P

  • your paintings are so beautiful! you are blessed to have such a talent

  • Jesus looks suspiciously like Chuck Norris.

  • Question to the artist: Why do you draw Jesus with long hair? I never quite understood that part.

  • @TheGenuineChristian Because Jesus took the vow of a Nazirite and part of that was to not cut their hair.

  • Very very amazing

  • Excellence!

  • Jon, this is my FAVORITE video. This painting brings so much warmth to my soul. i have had many times where i read the scriptures and truly feel the spirit so strong. i would love to hang this painting in my home. thanks for sharing. -Dallyn Jones

  • God gave you a wonderful talent. The paintings are beautiful. I could tell that you painted Jesus with a warm and serene look like we could picture him. Thanks for sharing your beautiful artwork with the world.

  • When an act is in direct violation of God's law, it can be considered worse than pornography. Pornography is a thing and cannot sin. Only men can sin with how they use it. But making an image of God is in direct violation of the Second Commandment. This video and the painting rendered herein is in direct violation of the 2nd Commandment of God. That makes this video and the painting shown in it worse than porno! Shame on you, Jon!

  • You think anyone's going to depict Jesus as what he really looked like? He was middle eastern, not white, and he probably had short hair being a carpenter. It's funny how everyone paints and draws him as a white man with long flowing hair.

  • That's so wonderful :D

  • Whoever does not love does not know God,because God is love. 1 John 4:8

  • jesus, hahaha, what a homo.

  • I think the main reason there is no description of Jesus is because no one who wrote about him actually met him, lol.

    /watch?v=k3o54qBoJhc

  • @l337pwnage

    Or because someone could appear in that likeness and deceive. Kinda like why

    Eve or Mary's descriptions/or time/place of death aren't revealed, why Michael

    stopped Satan from nearing Moses' corpse. The Apostles knew God was against

    "graven" images. And because of the Renaissance art of Jesus (long hair,beard)

    many will be deceived.

  • @l337pwnage

    Your opinion statement is not true.

  • @thepatraful lol, such a convincing argument. Religious people keep trying to hide history, but we keep learning more and more.

    /watch?v=I2DQyZi-Qkc

  • It's beautiful. But there still is no god.

  • Beautiful !! What a gift!

    We all so need this !

    Thank you !

    Maya Matasaru

  • This suce touching video about Jesus and seeing him face to face some day just leaves me speechless and moves something deep down in side of me.

    Robert Holt.

  • I could feel The Holy Spirit's arms around my shoulders as I listened to how you would recognize Christ when you meet him. What a great description of standing in awe of Him! Sonia Rogers Scott

  • God has truly blessed you with a gift!

  • STAY STRONG IN OUR LORD JESUS.

  • Mr. McNaughton, your pixs are awe inspiring. You should send them to Mr. Obama to show him and others that our nation is a Christian Nation. Under God was put in the Constitution for a reason. Our forefathers thought it was necessary. So do most of our people. I Thank God that He gave you the gift to paint these pictures that we and all might share in their beauty. God Bless.

  • I am in this guys ward. what an awesome inspired individual. He uses ward members for his models.

    I love his work

  • beautiful work, some figures, such as the children look a bit modern.

  • i cant help but see a pattern in how god is represented by most as looking straight outta alabama. i guess drawing him looking like the people from the place he originated from would be too.. riskay. i know its not the point but if you watch the boondocks christmas episode, youll know what i mean and why this is so. anyway, painting is therapeutic.

  • @strangersxcandy I think the reason is not so sinister as you think. The classic depictions of Christ by Renaissance painters have been so widely distributed for the past 1000 years or so that they have be come synonymous with the subject of his life, and are what people usually think of when talking about Jesus. I agree that he likely looks nothing like his depictions. Whatever his physical appearance is makes no difference to me. It"s who he is (The Saviour of the world.) That's the message!

  • This is the way I believe Jesus looks like....very serene and loving. Can't wait to meet Him someday. Want Him to take ALL my troubles and worries away and just sit and visit with Him. I will beg for forgiveness at his feet for every terrible thing I have done. I am so sorry for being a piece of crap, Jesus.

  • Amazing! Simply amazing! Not only are you an amazing artist, but you share a message that can really penetrate the barrier of human ignorance to have people see who God really is!

  • jesus picture should not be drawn, painted etc...as we do not know what Jesus looks like

    it say in the bible that Jesus is not desirable but all pic paintings moves Jesus is desirable

  • jesus picture should not be drawn, painted etc...as we do not know what Jesus looks like

  • Looks like Chuck Norris... Ironic?

    No.

  • When you get to know The Lord, You Will Fall More in Love with him..more than ever.

    He brings the Peace to your Heart.

  • Well done

  • What beautiful artwork, so amazing.

  • God is certainly using you for His glory! You have been blessed with this wonderful talent and He is using you to spread His Word. God Bless you.

  • How could someone ever call Jesus a socialist?

  • Jesus is a Jew, Not a European.

    Jesus is love, not an angry, foul mouthed bigot.

    Jesus teaches love thy neighbor.

    Jesus fed everyone with the loaves and the fish.

    Jesus taught the parable of the good Samaritan.

    Jesus is everyone's Savior.

  • The message is very inspiring and your paintings are absolutely beautiful.

  • Jesus Christ was a socialist.

  • @Northern5tar Jesus Christ was not a Socalist. There was nothing coercive in his teachings -everything was based on individual choice. Socialism is the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles that happens through mandate of a government. He never mention the government when he talked about charity...it was done through the family, church and individual. Let me know where you find the reference to Christ exorting the government to levy taxes on people for redistribution of wealth.

  • @KoraZorEl

    Amen, Preach it!!!

    May have to quote you on my post in the future if that is ok

  • I love your research and painting of the "European Christ." Because we god fearing good Christians know Jesus wasn't a "sand nigger."

  • Great art work chek out my reconstruction of the of the face on the turin shroud on my site.

  • Images of Christ are an abomination, no matter what your intent. There is a reason Jesus was not described by any of the apostles or anyone who saw Him in person. We don't even know how tall He was, or the color of His eyes.

    "Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man." (Acts 17:29) See also, Romans 1:19-20.

  • @skuuter Divine being He is...But don't forget He took on HUMAN flesh. Images of Christ are no more of an abomination as a picture of your family members (which is what Christ's body is) The whole reason why we have images of Christ is to remind us that He's there...to inspire love in us, for Him. Remember: Out of sight, out of mind.....I don't think God wants that if we're to love Him. We just don't worship that image like we don't worship any other image, but we worship the God it represents.

  • fairy tales

  • So beautiful. I can feel the Spirit just viewing your paintings.

  • While I agree with John's assessment of the appearance of Christ, it still bugs me when he's depicted as anglo saxon, which he could not possibly be. Remember the Time issue where He was depicted from all over the globe: every artist rendered Him in their own image; Chinese, Black, Indian, etc.

    Rarely do you see Him in his own ancestry.

  • @quadancer that's true, I expect Him to look more middle eastern, maybe darker skinned and curlier hair. I guess we'll get to see Him when He comes back

  • I like to paint my christ in one of those tuxedo tshirts that say "im formal, but i like to party too." Sorry i couldnt help the Talladega Nights movie quote....GREAT PAINTINGS!

  • I can definitely say I can feel love from those paintings...So Beautiful!

  • great

  • thank you i needed this!!! god bless

  • Beautiful !!! Jon McNaughton has it right.

  • Amen!!!! This guy is so talented, and these videos almost make me cry! What an inspiration!

  • How come Jesus is white in your pictures? Have you seen anybody from Palestine before?

  • @bigbowlowrong - Understand your point, but did you not listen to what the artist had to say? He speaks on how the bible barely describes Christ's physical appearance because He wanted us to remember his message, more than his outward appearance... I guess, just watch the video and listen to what he has to say. It's actually a positive message.

  • @Vernholio

    And I understand where you're coming from. Still, if that's the point the artist was trying to make it would have been more effective had he gone outside the lily-white, airbrushed model Jesus we see everywhere.

    THAT would have made people think of the assumptions we make about his appearance and perhaps how his message has been distorted, much like his image has.

    Not that to me it really matters (not a Christian) but it must be grating to people who live in the Middle-East.

  • @bigbowlowrong Points taken, and well-understood. Appreciate you being diplomatic about it, and responding "outside the norm" of what we typically see here on YouTube!

  • @bigbowlowrong WHAAAAAA! Jesus is Jesus no matter what the color ill draw one with rainbow crayons for all i care! his appearance is not important!

  • So beautiful, what a wonderful and blessed way to use your talent.

  • WOW ...The comments here miss the whole point..wow...hung up on earthly issues that many are still making issues....Let it be people...What a wonderful place this would be if we could all just smile at one another and wish each other well..and indeed the Lion could lay down with the Lamb...Too bad there is always the aspect of HATE...

  • you are truly blessed from one artist to another...Bless you man..

  • Each of us must make a choice, whether we will serve God or Satan. The reality is, however, that only one of those two will provide an eternal reward. Without a choice, we are robots, programmed to carry out a command. God wants a relationship with us; Satan, instead, wants us to join him in eternal hell--misery loves company. Sure, God can wipe out evil completely, but if He does, then He takes away choice. I choose God, and I am not, and will not be, disappointed.

  • Religious Gang! Why is he playing a life chess game with the devil? Why is the devils soul is more important than mine? Why can't he just end evil? Why did he create evil at all? Come on......Riligion is a form of gang. If you don't believe me, go to your local churh and let them know that you don't agree with just a few things they say.... They will turn on you in a hart beat!!!

  • @delixander Honey, churches are full of the same people you have around you every day, going to church does not change a rotten heart, Only Christ can do It when we repent of our fallen state and turn to Him. He loves you and wants to live with you. Look to Him not at the hypocrisy you see. He isn't playng a game with the devil or with us, He is going to desroy Satan, He waits because if he does it now he will have to destroy you as well.He waits to save our lives.

  • @delixander Jesus did not die on the cross for Lucifer!!! He died on the cross for YOU! Angels aren't allowed to be the children of God. Our Heavenly Father reserved that wonderful distinction for us! If you read the Bible, you'll find that angels used to have free will, as we do, but Lucifer & others became jealous of God, and had to leave Heaven, just as Adam & Eve chose to disobey God & had to leave Eden. We aren't promised an easy life on earth, but He will be with us through it all.

  • Christ was not a white guy!!!!! Go back and do some more research!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @delixander SO WHAT? Jesus don't care what color "WE" are, so WHY would "WE" care what color "HE" is or was? Are you trying to bring about racial issues?

  • God is all colors, all races, all people everyone sees him as they need to see him i don't believe he was really a race at all he is all people he will appear to you as you need him to.

  • Praise the LORD!!!! For your talent!

  • It probably doesn't matter. And you probably won't believe me. But Jesus Christ appeared to me. His face is beyond what a painter on earth could paint. The love is so real, so powerful it can't be imitated. But the other characteristics: His hair is light brown. He has a beard. He has beautifully masculine facial features. His hair is somewhat shoulder length, a little bit longer but not much, to my recollection (it was 2 years ago).

  • @julieification - Did He say He was Jesus, or did you assume? Remember there are angels who appear too.

  • @fwfassett I understand and agree.After He appeared to me, I just couldn't believe Jesus would appear to me. I kept wondering if He was an angel. But I knew an angel of God would direct my faith to Jesus, not to himself. Since He held out His hand to me during a demonic attack, and the way He looked at me with such love, I just couldn't believe he was an angel. One nite, I was reading a magazine, and the thought came to me to turn on the TV. I don't even watch tv. So I ignored the thought...

  • @fwfassett Part 2: The thought to turn on the tv came to my mind 2 (? at least )more times. It was kind of like an argument with yourself because I didn't want to watch tv. I went into the room where the tv is, turned it on, and there was a Jew talking to a Christian interviewer, and said that he was walking in Jerusalem with a friend when Jesus Christ appeared to him. His friend didn't see him but the Jew said Jesus was as real as the interviewer was. The Jew said when Jesus smiled..

  • @fwfassett Part 3: The Jew said that when Jesus smiled with so much love he knew that HE was what was missing in his life. Jesus then was walking away from the Jew up on a wall. The Jew said he wanted Jesus to turn around and look at him so badly just one more time. Jesus did and the man went to a Jews for Jesus headquarters and got saved that day. Thus, God confirmed to me Jesus did appear to me, not an angel.

  • @julieification - Thank you so much for your beautiful story. I wonder how many others are being drawn to Jesus, but haven't responded - yet. He loves everyone and wants all to believe and receive the free gift of eternal life from Him. Jews for Jesus is an excellent group of believers, spreading the Good News of Jesus to Jews worldwide.

  • Beautiful work, keep it up!

  • @mofoul WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE THAT HAS MADE YOU SUCH A CYNICAL PERSON.  NOT ONLY HAVE YOU MADE RUDE COMMENT HERE, BUT ALSO TO A PERSON AND THEIR BIRTHDAY ENTRY. I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU.

  • @mofoul

    It's because Jesus IS white. And you ARE a racist.

  • @mofoul DO NOT take Thy Lord's name in vain...you're walking on thin ice!  And if it's any interest to you I belive that Jesus skin color should be darker...because of the His birth place near all the Arab Nations!

  • Im Jon McNaughton, and to compensate for my lack of artistic talent or vision, I've whored myself out to the intellectually and morally bankrupt dullards of America. I'd rather have a piece of work by fucking damien hirst then this hack.

  • @mofoul I would suggest that you become an artist...paint your black Jesus and then you'll read condemning statements of yourself like the one you posted.

  • What man yielding and soft would say, “I am life, and I am the way to truth” ?

    What man meek and lowly would say, “I am in God, our Father; and our God, the Father, is in me” or “He who believes not in me believes not in this life nor in the life everlasting” ? Was it a coward who shook His hand in the face of the authorities and pronounced them “liars, low, filthy, and degenerate”? It is the mighty hunter I would preach, and the mountainous spirit unconquerable.

  • Thank you so much for the beautiful art and for the beautiful words. It truly will be how we feel about Him that will make us recognize Him, when that time comes. Thank you.

  • --A process of refinement--

    I find that very symbolic.

  • Absolutely beautiful! God has given you an amazing gift and I'm so glad you're sharing it with others =)

  • "I want people to feel something"......you've done it! Thank you for this beautiful testimony!

  • excellent job !

  • Amazing...

  • Great Video Seth- You continue to amaze and inspire me!

  • Isaiah referring to Christ: 2. For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form or comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should despise him.

    Isaiah: 53: 2

  • @FATE522 desire him. Not despise him

  • @GlennRoxWyo

    I appreciate the correction thank you :)

  • @FATE522 No prob bob.God bless.

  • @GlennRoxWyo

    God bless that you may live well and live happily :)

  • Jon McNaughton I wish I could meet you...:)

  • I love how he said that he will not know the Savior by the way He looks, but he will know who He is by the way he feels. I love it! Thanks so much for posting!

  • Awesome vid S.A.S.

    Thanks for posting.

  • his dad was my drivers ed teacher! whoa...ps his artwork speaks volumes...amazing!!
