So Jesus was “self righteously grim?” He was a “man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” We are told that he mourned, cried, became exasperated, and often got angry. But never that he smiled or laughed. Were those terms not in existence in the biblical languages of the 1st Century?

Maybe the writers didn't bother mentioning his general demeanor. Somehow he managed to attract thousands of average people, like a magnet.

Maybe he handed out Noah's Ark coloring books to the kids.
