Have you ever seen those babies with a face that only their mother could love?

What did Jesus look like, was He unattractive, or a magnificently beautiful "human"?

With Christmas right around the corner, many are at least having some thoughts about Jesus this time of year.


Often, when we see images of Jesus Christ these days, people generally portray Him as some handsome white man with a beard. When I considered the very little that the Bible reveals about His physical appearance, it seems that if Jesus Christ was beautiful, His beauty did not come from His physical appearance.

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isaiah 53:2-3)

Just look at those descriptions:

he hath no form nor comeliness

when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him

we hid as it were our faces from him


Hmmm... a Savior so ugly that people had to look away.

I realize that this goes against our superficial tendencies, and that many will still cling to their false images of a beautiful (in appearance) Jesus. However, I must find such views to be flawed and in error, based upon what God has to say about the matter.

In this video, created by narrowminded@narrowminded and truconspiracy@truconspiracy, we will examine some more on this matter, and consider what the implications of this truth may be.

Before you share your thoughts on the matter, please at least watch or listen to the video. It runs about 25 minutes, but is easy to play and listen to while you do other things if you don't want to take the time to actually "watch" it.

2+2=4

Thanks, narrowminded@narrowminded
