Jacob Simmons and his fiancée, Gentry Lee Sutherland insist it is a miracle after they bought some pictures at Wal-Mart and found Jesus staring back at them on the receipt. Many people would question whether Jesus would work through Wal-Mart but a bargain is a bargain. Wal-Mart appears to be offering miracle at a low price, undercutting local stores in Anderson County, South Carolina in their own Savior slips.
Notably, Jesus did not appear until a few days later after the receipt had been left on the floor of Sutherland’s apartment.
Sutherland insisted that “[w]e just feel like it’s a blessing that God showed it to us and opened our eyes. And we just feel like we should share the blessing God gave to us to everybody else.”
In one interview, the couple explained that the receipt appeared to answer a question they had just been asked at church: “We had a message on knowing God, abiding in him,” Sutherland said. “(The preacher asked) ‘If you know God, would you recognize him if you saw him?'”
It appears that after throwing out the merchants from the Temple long ago, Jesus decided to visit a Walmart for some discount miracles. Unfortunately, Jesus was immediately fired for appearing at a Walmart without the required blue vest for a greeter.
<< Matthew 21:12
12And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. 13And He said to them, “It is written, ‘MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER’; but you are making it a ROBBERS’ DEN.”

I’m sorry, I see Groucho Marx.
Looks like he’s wearing a turban to me…maybe it’s Mohammed?
Steve Buscemi
Seriously, that’s the best Virgin Mary I’ve seen since the rust stain on the Chicago Tollway underpass.
It’s Rasputin! Feed him some more poisoned cakes- he’s still alive!
Why does that monk have a black eye?
Upon further reflection, I think it’s the image of character actor Harry Dean Stanton.
First of all, the merchandise was purchased on Sunday and the receipt was found on the floor on Wednesday, so housekeeping isn’t the couple’s strong suit. Was the receipt found UNDER something, perhaps an open bottle of ketchup or an empty oil can? And I do agree with people who think it looks like Rasputin, but everyone immediately assumes that a miraculous picture is automatically Jesus so we have to go with first guesses based on recent sermons.
I’m not sure why Jesus would want to reappear on a receipt or a potato chip or in a grilled cheese sandwich but it must have something to do with those “mysterious ways” we’re always hearing about. Frankly, I would advise him to show up on the steps of the White House as a better way to announce his resurrection, but there again, that’s being America-centric and he just might materialize in the Ugandan capitol or on the banks of the Seine River.
These Hicks have really been blessed. I think that they should sell it on ebay and make a crap load of money and then give it to the church. After all, the initial purchase is not deductible. But the value of the sell or appraisal is.
I’m thinking more Charlie Manson.
“It has Jesus on the receipt. I’m not going to argue about it. I want a full refund and if you’ve got a problem with that I’d like to speak to the manager.”
I’m not buying it…
ME TOO! AT THIS POINT I SAY I AGREE GREE GREE!!!
I agree with Frank – it looks more like Rasputin.
Or the homeless man down the street from my office….
LOL
The problem with the thermal receipts is they keep deteriorating…
I wonder when the Holy Receipt will appear as an auction item on eBay.
If that can be a model,I heard that the President of Home Depot wants Governor Christie to run for POTUS ,so look for a Christie hologram soon on a Home Depot receipt.
What happened to the potato chip…
looks more like Rasputin to me:

Maybe it was not Gawd showing you his blessing but some angry Russian nobles wanting you to poison, stab, shoot and drown some adviser to the Tzar!
