Subject: "What did Jesus look like?" |
Bible Note: Vanessa, you keep on sowing seeds in the lives of those teens and don't let anyone tell you to stop! I've listened to many testimonies on 700 Club of former atheists and skeptics who are now born-again Christians. Josh McDowell is one. I bet his heart wasn't open to the gospel message the first time he heard it. And I wonder where his soul would be now if after the first attempt of sharing the Word with Josh the person "went on to the someone else whose heart is open." I also heard the author of "A Skeptic's Search For God" share his testimony. Can't remember his name but I'm sure the book is still offered on CBN.com website. As far as what Jesus looked like, well, He was Jewish. Wouldn't it stand to reason He would have looked like an average Jewish man: olive complextion, dark hair and eyes, beard. Isa. 53:2 says there is nothing in His outward appearance that would make us "desire Him" ("delight" in Him, per Strong's Exhaustive Concordance). So, you keep on reaching out to those precious lost souls. "One sows, another waters" but it is God Who gives the increase! |
