What did Jesus look like?

        Jesus had human flesh that reflected the colors of the people he lived with. He had no remarkable human appearance apart from his own relations. In other words, unless he was speaking, he could not be picked out from the crowd of those he was with. He looked Aramaic/Jewish, from the lands of the Bible. He was and still is often represented in art to look like the people who love him or who wish to use His authority to motivate someone else. The Germanic depiction of Jesus is the most common today. Although, this is due to the preferential choices of publishing companies. They hire the illustrators that they prefer. It has always been true that Western painters portray Jesus as they relate to him. For this reason it is entirely acceptable to paint him as any race that you prefer as long as it is NOT done with the intention to HARM others in any way. However, we live in a fallen society (i.e. the world) and this seems unavoidable at times.
