WHEN his next door neighbour called over the fence and told him Jesus had appeared in his back garden faithful church-goer Ron Sims first thought he was joking.
But when the pensioner caught a glimpse of the concrete barbecue his friend had knocked down six years before he couldn't believe his eyes.
Mr Sims, 77, of Magpie Bottom Lane in Hanham, said: "When I saw it I just couldn't believe the likeness.
"It's such a strong image, it's almost eerie."
The image is formed by the remains of concrete blocks Mr Sims used to build an outdoor barbecue when he lived in the house 15 years earlier before he moved next door.
After Colin Laver bought the house he decided to knock the barbecue down but it was only recently that he noticed the image.
Mr Sims believes the image shows God was watching over him and his wife Joyce, 74, when they lived in the house.
"People will think we're crazy but we're Christians and it means a lot to us," he said. "It's awesome the way Christ reveals himself."

Since we don't know what Mohammed looked like either, then why can't it be attributed to Mohammed? That would tick off a few "religion of peacers." Why is all this nonsense attributed to Jesus?
“It’s awesome the way Christ reveals himself.”

Amen to that, Brother!
It’s Jesus for sure. If you look at it upside down, you see John Lennon and if you looked at it through a mirror, it’s the guys’ mother in law.
Its got to be good BBQ!
Because the Koran specifically forbids the creating of representations of people's faces (which is why there is no Muslim iconography), no Muzzie would ever propose that Mohammed's face had appeared on anything.
Well it is Muhammed and Mr. Sims better watch his back.
Looks like a woman to me
That’s Pete Townsend in his “beard” days.
Any angle on Jesus prefering Vinegar based, ketchup based, or dry rub?
If I were Mr. Sims I’d grill me up some pork chops super-quick.
Don’t say that, they will say it Mary...
Or maybe its just some shades and shadows on some concrete.
Opps....it = it’s
I’ve had lots of images appear on my BBQ ...depending on what “sauce” I’m using
So is Jesus dead, or is he just sleeping???
And I never thought I’d see Jesus wearing a bow tie...Guess he dressed for the ocassion...
“Hey... why the long face?”
ROFL
We know what Jesus looked like.
My favorite “miracle” image is still Elvis/Jesus/Michael Jackson on a tortilla, a garage door or some shrubbery. Elvis/Jesus/Michael Jackson on a grilled cheese sandwich or a pancake or a waffle is not bad either.
