Portrait of Jesus Described

Found in an out-of-print volume titled, Messages From Jesus and Celestials, from John the Apostle, describing the appearance of Jesus.

“While Jesus was a Jew, he was not what you would call a typical Jew in appearance any more than in other qualities, for he had that condition of soul that to a large extent fashioned his appearance. His eyes were a violet blue and his hair was light and inclined to auburn; his nose was prominent and somewhat long, his beard was the color of his hair, and worn not so long as was the custom of those days, and he never had a razor on his face. His forehead was not so very high or broad, but was well shaped and somewhat effeminate, and indicated that there was not great mental development, for I must say, that his knowledge was not the knowledge of the brain, but of the heart and soul. As everyone may know who acquire the proper soul development, the soul has a brain of its own which is used for the disclosure of knowledge which pertains to the spiritual truths. Mortals may not quite comprehend the meaning of this assertion, but I tell you that in certain circumstances and conditions the brain, or to be more exact, the mind of the natural human becomes entirely absorbed into the mind of the soul.

“So I say, it is not a correct conclusion to suppose that Jesus, because of having all the wonderful knowledge of the truths of God, his Father, as he prefered to call God – must have had a large development of those portions of the brain that is ordinarily displayed by a large or prominent forehead. His head, in fact, was not very large, but compact and beautifully shaped.

“He wore his hair parted in the middle and reaching to his shoulders, it was somewhat curly – a beautiful head of hair which seemed to be full of life. No artist has a correct conception of his appearance and no portrait or sculpture conveys a near likeness of him.

“But as the people realize how beautiful he was within, they can possibly in their own imaginations see a clearer conception of his appearance than any painted portrait  gives to them. The Master should be loved, but not worshiped, for he wants only God to be worshipped.”

All God’s children can become Born-Again through prayers for the Gift of Divine Love. Amen
