Totally agree with your assessment.
I picture him very fit. He walked everywhere!
Also carpentry without power tools!
I got to illustrate a children’s Bible and the
publisher let me depict him that way.
Very grateful to them for that.
Yes indeed. I also consider that we have no idea what it is to live under an Emperor and Ceasars etc. as they had then.....they were often brutal and the difference between the people and those who ruled were as night and day.
Also there was no indoor plumbing...water was hauled and trees had to be felled for lumber.....just such a labor intensive age at that time. So as Jesus walked then it was a different environment day day in how they lived.
I’ve often thought why God chose that era to arrive here on earth and live among men. However if He did today he wouldn’t be noticed much I don’t think.......though HE certainly willl be in time.
