Image of Jesus

[Jenn]

I do think He would look Middle Eastern too.  Anyway, it will not matter to me what He looks like, I would imagine a brilliant glow/light that emanates immense LOVE, JOY & PEACE

He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
    and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
    nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

 

Isa 53:2

[Sevenseas]

 

 

So an image was put in my mind recently, call it a vision or divine thinking or mabe it was just a figment of my imagination who knows?

 

 

Your words suggest that you are totally not responsible for seeing what you say you saw.   You have a way of expressing yourself that tends to belie the words you write

to deny claiming you saw a vision or that in any way whatsoever you would think yourself a seer.

 

Revelation describes Jesus.  Your vision, or whatever it was/is, does not.

 

I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man,^d dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

17When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

 

A little discernment would go a long way here IMO

[Sevenseas]

 

 

Ummm I never said this was a vision. I have met him before but i cannot remember what he looked like even though I saw him clear as day when I met him

 

Your words carry an awful lot of weight ...  I, for one, do not give credit to your daily visitations and things you see or things that have been put into your mind, as being from the Holy Spirit

 

Either these things are from God or they are not from God.  If they are not from God, then you should disavow them and if they are only your imagination, they are part of your thought

processes and you should know the difference.

 

As you constantly tell us that you do not know the difference between your imagination or a foreign entity PUTTING things into your mind, I would suggest that you ask God for some

discernment because we are to be in CONTROL of our thoughts and not in some state that we do not know how it is we are seeing what we see.

 

There is no reason on this earth that God would put things into a person's mind that serve no purpose and that are not a true picture of Jesus as He is described in the Bible.

[Sevenseas]

 

Thats twice I have heard His eyes are blue.

Where did you hear that from?On speculation I would think that Jesus would look like the typical Middle Eastern.And that sure is not blue eyes.

 

 

 

 his eyes were like blazing fire.

 

They could be any color.....talking about the color of Jesus eyes is just nonsense...sheer nonsense and I would agree with what you post BoPeep

 

If a person wants to imagine, that is one thing, we can all do that, but the Bible really paints a very different picture of what Jesus looked like...including the verse

 

He grew up before him like a tender shoot,

    and like a root out of dry ground.

He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,

    nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

 

Isa 53:2

 

From Omegaman in post 15...doesn't anyone pay attention to what scripture says rather than postulating when the Bible tells us how it is?

 

 

I guess we have all seen those paintings where Jesus is pictured with long flowing hair....yet, read what Paul wrote about a man's hair...kind of doesn't make sense IMO that

people would paint Jesus with long hair when Paul said it was a shame for a man to have long hair

 

Just sayin

The paintings of Jesus could not resemble Him at all.

When Jesus walked on the earth, He was not recognized for who He was.  As mega provided scripture that "He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him"  Now who He is to each of us personally is completely different.  So . . .  does what he looked like in the flesh matter?  I wonder how many of us would have recognized Him if we had been alive back then?

It does matter to me in the least what He looked like.He is my Lord and my Savior.

I dont know what a seer is but whatever it is im probably not one im just a simple person no one special now as for if I am responcible for the image i saw here is how I see it- i believe God can speak to in many ways and what this was is most likely that because my imagination is not capable of creating an image that beautiful. I saw something beautiful that touched my heart and I wanted to share so maybe it would touch others thats all this is
