Is the “Prince of Peace” painting by Akiane Kramarik an accurate vision and rendering of Jesus Christ as he appeared during his incarnation on earth?

The story of her portrait of Jesus and the recounting of the individuals involved with the story behind Heaven Is Real and that book and motion picture, are accurately depicted. This indeed was an image of Christ's earthly appearance shown to this young artist and she did a superb job in rendering her vision on canvas for the world to see and enjoy. So this is a story worth the retelling because it is a beautiful example of a loving outreach, translated through willing hands, to make more tangible the story of Jesus Christ and his mission life. After all, it is one thing to have a 2000 year old collection of distant memories, as the Gospels were written long after Jesus Christ was crucified, and quite another to have a contemporary artist paint a portrait. This was not from a sitting with Jesus Christ in the flesh, but the next best thing—an impulsed vision of his earthly appearance implanted into her consciousness by the divine in a way that would be unforgettable. And given her talent as an artist, it became a straightforward project to turn into a work of art all could enjoy. It has much more than artistic value. It is a living iconic representation of a miracle life, and the miracle of the existence still underway for all of you following in his footsteps and benefiting from his pioneering work as a divine prophet and spiritual leader, and a living testament to the truth of the divine in all he did. And through this artist, the story is continuing and being reinforced by every new life he touches.
