Portrait of Christ

On a wall near the main entrance to the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, is a portrait with the following inscription:

"James Butler Bonham&md;no picture of him exists. This portrait is of his nephew, Major James Bonham, deceased, who greatly resembled his uncle. It is placed here by the family that people may know the appearance of the man who died for freedom."

No literal portrait of Jesus exists either. But the likeness of the Son who makes us free can be seen in the lives of His true followers.
