How do the Scriptures describe Him? I believe the way we see Jesus in the Scriptures is important because we all are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory by the Holy Spirit, as we behold His glory.
Merry Christmas and God bless.

I see Jesus as both a man of joy and sorrow. He experienced all of the same emotions we do as man. We see him as angered at the temple turning over tables and then filled with compassion when he observes a widow in the funeral procession of her only son.
Merry Christmas to you too and God's blessings.

Jesus - Man of Joy or Man of Sorrow?
Answer: Joy.
Matthew 25:21-23 (King James Version)
21His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Jesus was truly a man of sorrows. The Bible never says that Jesus laughed. He came to Earth as a New Man, a New Adam to redeem mankind back to Himself so we could spend eternity with Him as was meant to be in the beginning. I believe He looked upon us humans with love and pity. I try to remind myself all the time that a person who annoys me is still a child of God and I try to look at them as Jesus would. Jesus came to Earth as a poor person, without possessions, a wife or kids. Nothing about Him stood out. But, God takes what man considers wise and shows it to be foolishness. It isn't about fame, fortune or money. That stuff means nothing. I pray daily to exhibit the fruits of the indwelling Holy Spirit such as faith, goodness, gentleness, joy, kindness, love, peace, patience and self-control-some translations add "chaste" too.

To be honest, I have always gotten the impression that he was not exactly a happy-go-lucky individual, but, rather, a tranquil one; a person whose happiness was muted, and whose demeanor, though far from hopeless, seemed to be tinged with a vague aura of sadness (since I assume that he was partially aware throughout his life about the fact that he would have to die on the cross, and that he was a little more human in that knowledge than one would expect, even though he did accept it, which is more than many of us could do). I definitely cannot imagine him being a joyous figure, but rather, a calm and gently solemn one.
