many images of what Jesus Christ looks like. Youve seen pictures hanging in churches‚ in artwork‚ magazines etc. that attempt to depict His life. Maybe you have a portrait of Jesus in your own home or office? The images of Jesus we so often see are the typical sad looking tall slim effeminate white man with long brown hair.
