What kind of truck? We want to know if Jesus favors Fords or Chevys or (gasp) what if it's a Toyota from a Buddhist country?

How does he know that's Jesus?

Because of Anglicized pictures in religious tracts?
It could easily be my Uncle Fred.

Somebody is messing with this guy. Used glue or something to make the picture.

It's one thing when a cheeto looks kinda like Jesus. It's another when you can see the part in his hair.

If Jesus said "Don't make an image of anything that is on earth or in heaven," then He sure isn't going to be doing it Hisownself.

I find it hard to believe Jesus was a white man. Maybe it's the Zig-Zag man.

#1 - the story said Isuzu. I think that's verrrrry significant!! But I also think the image looks a lot more like Leonardo DeCaprio as a French prisoner in Catch Me If You Can.

Or it looks like the imprint of a driver's shoulder. Either way, MY FAITH is restorrrrr-ED! Halleliueia, Broth-ah! Kneel with me, friends-ah! Give up yaw prayuhs-ah!! T'Jayyyy-zuss-ah!

Ah feel a healin' comin' onn-ah! Step fow-wad-ah! And be HEALED-ah! Bah HIS Grace-ah!! Halleliuia!!

There was probably a Jesus emblem on the window of his truck that was removed, but now every time the morning dew forms the water molecules wrap around what was once there. Duh.

ughh...there wouldn't even have to be a sticker there that was removed for the image to appear. Ever write on the mirror in your bathroom when you were a kid so you could see the message over and over every time you took a shower. Anyone could have gone up to his window and created a picture in the condensation.

I comes natural, #12. I am, in fact, an ordained minister. Don't take yourself so seriously, and the message makes more sense.

My question is not whether I'm ready for Him, but is HE ready for ME?

This is an easy prank to do, and is fairly well known. I used to do it on my roommates in college.

Let's say you want Jesus to appear on your bathroom mirror. Get some shaving cream (liquid soap also works, but shaving cream works best). Very lightly draw out your Jesus in shaving cream. The dark parts are where the shaving cream is, the light parts are where it isn't. When the shaving cream dries the image is invisible. But when the bathroom steams up Jesus will appear! He will last for a week or so, but slowly degrades and goes away.

24 Laura - "WOW!! It's amazing how much believing in God no longer exsist. Just but the way you all talk or make fun of this matter. I would say, "be afraid, be very afraid".

a) The comments here so far do not indicate that the posters do not believe in God, only that they are skeptical of this image on the truck.

b) I know this is difficult for you to understand but many here that are religious or spiritual do not think God is an entity that one needs to be afraid of. The God that I believe in for example is an all loving God who loves each and every one of us so there is nothing about God to be afraid of.

Uh yeah, OK, considering most people that I know who are Christians or Jewish and believe in God lean pretty liberal. #26 hit it. When you look at the words and deeds of Jesus, he was clearly a Liberal.

Hey...this is no big deal...

I talk to God every night out in my garage.

It sometimes amazes me how many beers and cigarettes he can consume during our conversation.

And, He is always messing with the refrigerator magnets on the front of my beer fridge to make them look like different images......Cool !

Makes me recall a tree in South Tucson some years ago which was one day found to bear a scar in the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

There was a line of worshippers for some days in this front yard. The tree had numerous rosaries and novenas pinned to the branches. Prayers were murmured seemingly continuously by gentle folk sitting in lawn chairs nearby.

Okay, sure, this particular Asian species of tree was eventually determined by the media to have a habit of forming scars in the shape of a human figure.

But having gone down there to see for myself, and although being a skeptic then and since, I was nonetheless respectful of the sincerity and passion of the believers.

I agree that this present example appears to be a premeditated hoax.
