1 | "What did Jesus look like?" | Ex 20:4 | Vannessa | 56938 | ||
Thank you for your in-depth explanation, I tend to agree with why there are not more details of the physical appearance of Jesus. Unfortunately when conversing with minors your explanation tends to lose a bit of impact and would probably be scoffed at. The age group I generally converse with regarding questions surrounding Jesus, the Bible, God, etc. are very direct and insist on a very direct answer. I appreciate your efforts. However, I think they will only refer to this as a "cop out" attempt to excuse not knowing what Jesus looked like, especially when we can see the very details of far away planets using today's technology. I do tend to agree with your answer but unfortunately it may not hold water in the teenage world, of course that's just speculating. Just some thoughts, And again thank you for your time. V |

2 | "What did Jesus look like?" | Ex 20:4 | stjones | 56980 | ||
Hi, V; A simple, direct answer is that nobody knows what Jesus looked like. There are no contemporanious images of Socrates either, for example. But you have piqued my curiosity. I know that teens can be obsessive about appearance, but I can't imagine why they would insist on knowing what anyone who lived 2000 years ago looked like. Why do they want to know? Peace and grace Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Steve that's such a good question, sorry to be so late responding. I think they only want to place some kind of physical value with the idea of Jesus. Perhaps as they judge their own appearance so critically, they want to be able to judge Jesus' as well. Plus they may want to place Jesus with some kind ethnic features so they can stereotype Him. Teens tend to place everyone into a specific category of box, if you will. It makes it easier to judge them that way. I suppose as others have suggested that is why Jesus was somewhat nondescript except for being Jewish. Thank you for the question, very interesting, V |
