This guy's my new hero!

I loathe made-up images purported to be of Jesus. Had the LORD intended us to know what His Son looked like in the flesh, He would have left either an image or a word description. Instead, we've neither.

What really burns my bacon is how He is inevitably portrayed as handsome, even though Isaiah 53:2a says:

"He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him."

Really? His appearance is attractive in man-generated images, heaven knows.

Bah. Humbug!
