The Word of GOD is the only true depiction of Jesus.

If Jesus is the Son of God, a picture of him would be idolatory under OT laws. In any case, he probably looked more like Osama bin Laden than any of the pictures of him. He certainly was dark-skinned, with black/brown hair, like most Jews before the diaspora.
People see him as white because many Christians are white. There is a movement amongst black christians saying that he was black.

None of us really know what The LORD Jesus looked like. We can assume, but we don't know. Most people depict Him in a way that is culturally comfortable to them.
Abdul, Jesus was not Saudi. He was/is a Jew.

Jesus was born a JEW, you can rest assured that He looked like one.....dark hair, brown eyes, etc...He wasn't fair-skinned, blue-eyed,or long-haired (The apostle Paul said that common sense tells us that it's a shame for a man to have long hair...( not quoting)). He was raised as the son of a carpenter......I imagine He was strong. The Bible says He wasn't "comely", not to be desired.....so He wasn't handsome.
I hope this helps.....

I'm not a Christian, but I don't believe Jesus' physical appearance is central to an understanding of his teachings.

There are no pictures of Jesus from His day, so artists give their interpretation when painting Him. We know He is the son of God, a part of the trinity and our savior, we don't even need a picture.

I dont own any pictures that some would call pictures of Jesus. I will see Jesus one day and I will know it is him.

well I believe in Jesus myself and I have since come to the realistaion that his image is not as important as what he has done for us because say he's black the Idea is that he came to was your sins away.
