This kind reminds me of Indiana Jones being told to choose among a multiple of chalices of different design and materials. He chose from the most ugliest and plainest cups and was correct in his choice. Christ was described in the Bible as plain...”he was not comely that he should be desired”. Imagine a bunch of depictions done of Christ over the years; of them I would imagine the plainest and rather ugliest might come close to what he looked like physically( Mike Roe?). What the disciples saw on the transfiguration mount however was orders of magnitude beyond anything we could imagine!

JESUS looked like the Son of GOD... I know this from the accounts of people that threw themselves at HIS feet, without fore knowledge of who HE was. ALL that believed saw HIM as such... and the SON of GOD will fill your soul with beauty... those that Love HIM see HIM as he truly is. It really is simple.

Christ disappeared into any crowd, at least when he wasn’t preaching.

He didn’t stand out physically in any particularly unusual way. This is where those who theatrically try to imitate Jesus’ dress by wearing long hair, flowing robes, etc. go wrong.

If he were around today, he’d dress and act in public like an ordinary American.
