Christopher Goldsberry spent $10 to buy an old air conditioner rotting away in a collection of items that were about to be sold.

However, he didn’t buy it to cool off his house. He bought it because of what he saw on one of the rusted panels.

It was the likeness of Christ.

"When I saw that, I was taken aback," Christopher told WLOX-TV.

“I knew who that was immediately, so I had to take a picture to send to my girlfriend.”

Christopher, who describes himself as a Catholic who isn’t always in church, was surprised to find not everyone in Jackson County Mississipi saw what he did.

“The gentleman I purchased it from didn’t see any of it,” he began. “They don’t recognize what it is. Some people see it. Some people don’t. Think about that.”

This isn't the first or last time someone has reported seeing Christ's face in something other than a painting.
