What did Jesus look like? Discussing the race and ethnicity of Jesus can be a difficult topic, but this FREE poster will get kids talking about their personal image of Jesus. It shows various possible Jesus images created using Bitmoji.

This is a great accompaniment to the PowerPoint that will open up a conversation with your class and help them see that Jesus could have looked very different from the traditional image.

I also plan to use this Poster to start a conversation,then ask students to draw or color this image to reflect on how each student pictures Jesus.
