How do you picture Jesus?

[jeffrey]

What does he look like to you?

 

[jeffrey]

The way I picture him I'm sure is not how he really looks. I picture him about 5'8", slender, shoulder length wavy brown hair. short beard. Sandals, ankle length robe, the color of the robe is sometimes tan, but other times I picture it tie-dyed with a big peace sign on the front with peace beads, like he's going to a 'Dead' concert.

I guess that is much the way I picture him (The traditional image). But, contrary to the teachings of Christianity I don't believe he has a corporeal body; there is no need for one, where he is.

The most reverent and best depiction of Jesus that I have seen is here at www.Jesusfilm.org. I like how He is portrayed in this film, intitled "Jesus". It is a good 2 hour film, which can be watched on that site. I have watched it a lot. It is a condensed version of the original, which is 8 hours long, which was done in the original language of the day, with an English narrative. The title of this film is "The Gospel of Luke". It is a word for word narration of the Gospel of Luke.

My avatar is a still picture taken from this film.

The "Gospel of John" is another good film that was made last year. Excellent film.

I'll have to check that out. When I imagine Jesus, I also imagine him looking similar to your Avatar.

I guess i picture him like he's depicted in the Passion movie. Even though i know he looked nothing like that.

 

[Mike182]

im not sure, because everytime i try to think what he could look like, i think of how he coudl be different to hwo i see him

but my general image of him is this:

tall
slim
dressed in beautiful white tunic, but with a dark travelling cloak
long curly brown hair (i think he had a perm) - im not sure how long i imagine it to be, but he lets it flow in the wind (yes, i imagine wind in heaven)
brown sandels
a big stick

I picture the literal Yeshua extremely differently than he is protrayed

 

[Bishka]

I picture Him like a picture I've seen. It's His upper torso, and He is wearing a red robe. Has a somber face, but has a slight smile to it.

 

[Roland]

I picture him being black. And Judas with blond hair.

 

[James the Persian]

I picture Him exactly as He is pictured in icons. I guess Christ Pantocrator is how I picture Him most. I see no reason to picture Him any differently than that as that is how He has been painted since very early in Church history. Obviously nobody knows for certain how He looked (and it doesn't really matter) but for me, this is Him:

[The Grey Wolf]

When I picture Jesus I see Jeff Hunter.



SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!!!

 

[angellous_evangellous]

This image is pretty appropriate. After seeing "the movie," I picture Jesus a lot like this... it's appropriate because it is difficult for all of us to keep from telling Jesus who he should be instead of just letting him be who he is.

EDIT: More cool Passion pics

 

[sojourner]

I picture Jesus in all sorts of different ways. As he appears in famous icons, as he appears in that famous brown painting, where he's kind-of turned to the side, as he appears in statuary. I don't have a specific picture in my head.

I don't suppose it is an accurate "guestimate" of what jesus looked liked when he was on Earth, but I like this picture:-

 

[Smoke]

I picture Jesus kind of like Jason Momoa:

But any of these work for me, too:

 

[Aqualung]

This is the "mormon Jesus" who, coincidentally, I had on my wall when I was very little. It was very strange when I found out that it was pretty much exclusively the mormon jesus, but it's still how I think of him.

Sometimes I also imagine this:

And this one (wouldn't fit in previous post):

 

[YmirGF]

I perceive Christ as a being of light, like that of our sun. Physical details mean little.

When I see John Lennon, I see Jesus. They had alot of the same morals. Love everyone and peace to the world.
