Our Lord’s Appearance

The Bible doesn’t give us any description
of the Lord’s physical appearance,
but at Knott’s Berry Farm
in Buena Park, Ca.,
they had a painting in their,
“Little Chapel By The Lake,”
that was based, according to them,
on a description from Tertullian.
He supposedly based it on interviews
with those who supposedly
had seen Jesus.

They had a painting
giving a portrait of the description.
And they provided a taped narration
of the image.

In this description,
Jesus was said to have red hair
with blue eyes.
This might seem impossible,
yet we know in His lineage
was David, King of Israel,
which is said to have been “ruddy”
or red in his features.
Plus Abraham’s wife,
is said to have been “fair,”
meaning she was blonde.

While no one can prove
the presentation is accurate
it doesn’t give at least one interpretation.
This painting was seen by thousands
when it was on display.

Though different from what some would think,
was still very moving
to look up his face,
seeing those piercing blue eyes
staring back.
