Why should not The Son of David (Luke 18:38) have been a relatively small man like His great ancestor? It never seems to have occurred to most image-makers that Jesus could be relatively short, or stout, or even have had a receding hairline.

If the Shroud of Turin is any indication, Jesus Christ was, in fact, a man who was extraordinarily tall for that period of time. The image on the shroud doesn't seem to have a receding hairline, either.

Perhaps there is an opening for fox television to do it's own 'Passion' movie, "The Littlelest Jesus".

I probably shouldn't have said that - someone at fox will probably think it's a good idea.
