Well .. I'm afraid that most shorter "leaders" were close to being tyrants and ruled with an iron thumb - most had an inferiority complex - and tried to compensate by acting superior = Napoleon.
I believe Jesus' appearance was so commanding in stature and attitude that most people were in awe of his presence. Remember .. when Jesus walked on the earth - the blood of GOD was flowing in his veins - and that alone would have made him a standout kind of person.
You can believe He was a little short guy if you want - but you'll never convince me.
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
I fdon't believe he was short. Or tall. Or middle height. I don't believe it matters and I've never seen a biblical reference where it indicated height.
I do believe that he radiated authority and wisdom, that he was a natural leader and teacher and someone who it was nearly automatic to defer to and respect.
None of that requires height. Aas you pointed out, with the blood of God flowingg in his veins he doesn't need the height advantafgghat the normal man might need. Do you really find it hard to believe that God could experience difficulty in making a midget a natural leader?
I don't believe size is relevant (Abnd for the record I'm not short myself). If you can find a more compelling Biblical comment re his height I'd be happy to re-examine it.
As to the topic of whether short people make tyrants rather than leaders, that deserves a whole page to itself. I would point out though that a: the average height has been growing steadily for centuries and many we don't think of as short would stand out for that reason today (Captain Cook, etc. Also, how many non-mythical leaders are famed for their height? c: At the times of Temuchin or Timurlane or Napoleon, etc how many world leaders were likely to have been taller? Or intrinsically better as leaders go?
Of course! He was a 6'4" Aryan adonis! There could be no doubt of his divinity as he walked the streets of Jerusalem surrounded by those squat, swarthy, smelly middle-east types. It must have looked like John Wayne leading the montagnards in the Green Berets!
