If you have ever been to Jerusalem there is a natural question that comes to mind. Why should anyone…
Whatever image you have in your mind of Jesus Christ, it is surely wrong. None of his disciples told us anything at all about how Jesus looked—which is a curious oversight, in a way, because we really would like to know. It comes as a shock to some people when they learn that the picture of Jesus they bought and hung on the wall is a painting of some male model the artist recruited to sit for the portrait.There is every indication that Jesus was unremarkable physically. He was a Jew, but that was completely ordinary to his disciples.
