Actually I don’t think I visualize Jesus when I pray. The Jesus in my Bible came as an ordinary man to minister to ordinary men and women. If Jesus did carpentry work, he would probably have been muscular. Many paintings? of Jesus show a man that is almost feminine. The Bible does mention some other men as being handsome. I don’t remember it mentioning anything about his appearance.
thanks for your reply..
I’m not sure about “ordinary man”... I think we’d have to get into some theology or Christiology there. Certainly, there was something not ordinary about Christ.
But, yes, we don’t have pictures or description from scriptures. That makes the early iconography more interesting to me.
thanks very much for your posts..
