50+ Stunning Latter-day Saint Pictures of Christ

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, much of our religious focus is on the life of the Savior. The Church's doctrine is one of hope, redemption, and growth that we learn from the scriptures and modern revelation. We learn that “men are that they might have joy” and that Christ, by way of His life and His teachings, has shown us the way to achieve that true joy.

Likewise, this is the focus of much of our art. Our LDS artists pour their heart and personal belief into scenes depicting Jesus’ miracles or paintings symbolizing His guidance and love. We have an expansive collection of portraits of Jesus that highlight His benevolent nature. Each one showcases a unique style and perspective that invites thoughtful reflection on Christ’s influence in our personal lives. 

It’s no wonder religious artwork, generally speaking, plays such an important role in our lives. It trims just about every chapel, often accompanies any given Sunday lesson, and adds inspiration to many homes. For this blog, we wanted to focus on Latter-day Saint pictures of Christ that we think are perfect for your home, for your church calling, or a special gift for your neighbors, favorite missionary, or loved ones.

A painting of Jesus in your home can invite a quiet sense of peace and help you create a haven from the noise and bustle of the outside world. Find one here that matches the unique taste and style of your home.

The warm light of this picture reflects a sense of the love Christ has for each of us, as God’s children. Our efforts may seem small to us, but He values every sacrifice.

Jesus taught that He is the light and the life of the world. Sam’s painting celebrates the joy and peace that His teachings can bring us.

All of the shapes and lines in Jorge’s paintings are intentional. He seeks to help us look past visual details to find deeper spiritual meaning.

The invitation to follow Jesus is unique to each of us. We love the quiet reverence Lightweave captures in this piece. It suggests the dawning of a new day and the start of something miraculous.

Joseph’s drawings have stunning detail. His sketched portraits of Jesus reflect a sense of both strength and resilience. He is the rock of our salvation and if we build our foundation on Him and His teachings, then we can withstand the storms of life.

This is a more solemn piece by Simon, with the deeper colors and Christ’s more serious expression. It’s a beautiful portrait that honors His sacred role as the Savior of the world. He understands every pain and injustice and seeks to help us find our way back to Heavenly Father.

In His teachings and throughout His ministry, Jesus always demonstrated how important each soul is to God. Regardless of past mistakes or current struggles, He does not turn anyone. He goes searching for them.

This calm image of Jesus highlights Christ’s humble and gentle characteristics. Just like the title, the willow leaves and gentle colors invite a spirit of reflection and meditation.

Jorge’s interpretation of Christ in the garden of Gethsemane is simple but profound. There is not a wide array of colors and little in the way of distinct detail, allowing our focus to be on the Savior and the ultimate act of love that he performed.

It’s easy to get lost in the rush and chaos of everyday life. Lightweave’s picture reminds us that sometimes the best way to feel closer to God is to simply slow down and enjoy the small things.

This piece by Eva beautifully illustrates a scriptural phrase that is repeated throughout the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The Savior appears to be in deep reflection and, considering that mountains often represent drawing closer to God, the image also carries deep meaning.
