Jesus is portrayed the way he is for many reasons. Besides the skin color, which varies from picture to picture, his image is what most people simply assume he looked like. However, we should never set are sights so short as that.
When you see kindness, and respect, and dignity in this world...When you see someone filled with the love of God...It is then that the true face of Christ is present.

the answer is trouble-free: human beings want Jesus to seem exceptionally a lot an same as they do. therefore you spot the variety from white Germanic in Britain to black African in a lot of African countries. the reason of that is probable user-friendly own journey. pictures have had the better area of 2000 years to be formed, contained in the early area of which the in user-friendly words human beings you would possibly want to work out might want to seem an same (in words of racial descent) as you; an photo of a Galilean Jew in eighth century Britain operating example might want to be fullyyt alien. There would perchance be a level of racial delight in touch (we seem an same as Jesus, for this reason we are extra effective than overseas heathens, because it were), yet this seems closer tied to the boom of nationalism contained in the previous couple of centuries than human nature. briefly, human beings keep on with what they recognize.
