When Jesus appeared to me after a long time of asking Him to appear to me, If He was real. And one glorious day I suddenly saw Him standing in front of me!. And I saw myself coming out of my body and walking with Him. He was in a very bright light and all around Him was only light. He was in front of me in a white robe and when I looked at myself I was also in white and was walking behind Him.
I was walking with Jesus Christ and loved His presence. His beauty cannot be compared with what we see in the pictures. He is indeed an awesome looking God and in His presence there was only love, peace and joy of been there with Him.
Matthew 17: 1 - 3
Jesus Transfigured on the Mount
Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
The Transfiguration in the amplified version.
Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John the brother of James, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. And His appearance changed dramatically in their presence; and His face shone [with heavenly glory, clear and bright] like the sun, and His clothing became as white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.
This says it all!
And this is exactly how I saw Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
We were walking together and He was talking to me. His voice was very soft spoken and I could hear everything that He was saying. Remember that I was behind Him but I could hear Him clearly not seeing His mouth moving, Jesus said to me some things and gave me a powerful commission for His kingdom.
Sincerely on seeing Jesus I had no desire to come back here to earth, but He said to me that it was not my time to come home yet and sent me back.
The truth about Jesus is real and He actually came here on earth to set us free. The love that God has for us is phenomenal and His love is real. we love but no as God loves us. Our love is a mankind's love but His love is a supernatural love that has no condition attached to it.
This love of God made Him send His Only Begotten Son here on earth so that we can be called children of God as we were from the beginning of time.
For this very purpose Jesus came to show us the right way back to His Father. And this is why Jesus in John 14: 6 is called:
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus is saying to us that He alone is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
There is no other God that has died for mankind except Jesus and after He was crucified, on the very third day He rose in victory. He had to go through all the torture so that we His children can be set free from our place of captivity and because of the love of God, He will not force any of His children to believe in Him. He desires us to come to Him just as we are with all our short coming.
Scriptures on coming to Him

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Matthew 11:28 - 30
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.

For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
