The Holy Book I read says that there was nothing physically significant about Jesus (Messiah) that would draw us to him.
I might have well missed him in passing.
But yes. I could. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your face, hon. Your avatar speaks volumes, but I can promise you this...there is nothing "wrong" with who you are or how you were made.
Jude 1:2

Actually, he just MIGHT have a face like that.
According to some scholars, when Jesus met up with his disciples after the resurrection, they didn't even recognize Jesus for who he was! They walked together for 7 miles, talking about the Bible, not recognizing him until later that night when Jesus broke the bread at the dinner table (they saw his Sacrifical wounds??).
Psalm 22, which reads as if it were dictated by Jesus Himself as He hung on the cross. He describes His pain, the piercing of His hands and feet;9 He quotes the taunts of the crowd10 and observes the parting of His clothes,11 etc. The Psalm even opens and closes with His first and final words from the cross.12
Another such passage is Isaiah 53.13 This passage, sometimes called "The Holy of Holies of the Old Testament," highlights the implications of the cross as eloquently as any of Paul's epistles. In Isaiah 52:14, however, it specifies that the extent of the abuse left Jesus hardly even looking human.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair. Isaiah 50:6
This seems to indicate that the Roman soldiers ripped off His beard! No wonder His friends had trouble recognizing Him!
So, who says Jesus DOESN'T look like your pic?

Love is in the eye of the beholder. First looking at you, and if you told me you were the Messiah, I would be scared because I would think that Satan is playing tricks on me. No one think of the Messiah to be scary looking. How could this be proved to people ?

Especially if he/she had a face like yours of course I would probably be the ONLY one but always felt the everyone should have at least one person that they could call on for help.

Yes!! However, I know my Lord would never take upon Himself a look of demonicism! He is of LOVE, not what you are made of...self worshipping and shock jock! Nope, no comparison to the Lord I know! Get a life!

Well...that would be strange, but it is not his appearance that people find appealing, it is his teachings.

It wouldn't matter what he looked like. I'm not a Christian.
