Should We Make Images of Jesus? — A Urantia Book Perspective

The Urantia Book gives us rare and profound insight into the true life and teachings of Jesus — and even addresses the sensitive subject of making His image.

In Paper 120 and 141, the revelators caution against leaving behind images that could lead to idolatry, while also noting how inaccurate portrayals have misled generations about His real character.

In this video, we explore the deeper meaning behind these instructions, what they meant in the context of the first century, and how we at Tales of Urantia approach creating historically and descriptively accurate representations of Jesus for educational and inspirational purposes.

Is it possible to honor the spirit of the Urantia teachings while using visual art? Can images help us connect more deeply with the Master — without distorting His mission? Join us as we unpack the history, the warnings, and the balance between truth and reverence.
