I find it always curios how Jesus is depicted in films and art these days. There’s that Christian theme park (FL?) that has some actor looking like that famous painting of Jesus knocking on a door.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Some African Christians want Him to have been black, while northern European Christians want him to look Scandinavian. Do Asians want him to look Asian? In his humanity he descended from Jews, Semites (cf Matthew 1:1-17, Luke 3:23-37, Romans 1:3). Deal with it! LOL

This yearning probably reflects the fact that He identified with us by adopting humanity in the first place--so why not our particular flavor of humanity?

I found the portrayal of Jesus in Ben Hur, 1959 version, to be one of the most moving ever in a movie. I could never quite see Max von Sydow or Jeffrey Hunter as my Savior. IMHO, Ben Hur is the best movie ever made, with Lawrence of Arabia a close second. The sixties produced a few worthy mentions, but it’s been pretty much a wasteland ever since. IMHO.
