Those are nice drawings... did you draw them Jen?

btw, I've always wondered ever since I was small: How do people know what Jesus looked like? I mean you always see him as this guy with long hair, beard, and mustache. It would be somewhat... odd... if you find out one day that the person they modeled Jesus after was just some ice cream vendor or something.

:heh:

No, I didn't draw them. I got them in an email from me. :) I wish I could draw like that!

And yeah, that is always brought up. More than likely, Jesus WASN'T white. If you think about other people in that area. Darker skinned, etc. But who knows. :)

well, in the old testament prophesy, Isaiah describes Jesus as one who "had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him."

whether or not these drawings are accurate, no one can say...and it's not my concern. i just think they're nice... :)

Thanks :) took me a couple hours EACH to do. I'm glad they turned out alright though, too bad you can't get close ups so you can see all the eraser marks.

Jesus appears white in most paintings because most european artists were very ethnocentric.They just assumed the son of god had to be a Italian, English French...etc figure. Some of the most famous paintings and images come from the enlightenment and renaissance(sp?) periods of europe.

We have the third one matted, framed, and hanging on the wall upstairs. I didn't know it was part of a larger set. I'll have to look around for the other three.

Hi sho.gun

Jesus was a Jew, so that would help in knowing a little about what he looked like. Plus in those days they did not have barber shops:heh: so they had long hair, beards, and mustache's.. i would assume they didn't even have scissors back then either... :)
So I think that explains alot eh?

Didn't have scissors?.. Wow, that's funny. I suppose they hadn't invented hammers or anything really complicated like that yet either.. right?

This question has been bothering me for a while, how come on all the pictures and statues, Jesus never wears his kippah (yarmulka), after all he was Jewish.

They had to have some way to cut hair. Dellileh (sp?) cut Sampson's hair.

This web site only offers 5x7's. The one we have on the wall must be 11x14.

Edit: Wow, the entire set of 7 prints in 11x14 is only $50 from the artist's web site (http://keatonprints.com/prints_love.htm)

Wow, the prices are great. I'll have to look and see what shipping is.

I would love to find a bigger one (at least 8x10 maybe?) to buy for our church nursery. Let me know if you find any online bigger than that. :)

Thanks!
Jenny

I was under the impresion that scisors were used in the 14th century BC. As in 1400 years before Christ.

So for all we know Christ could have been a clean shaven man with short hair and dark brown skin. Who really cares? He is the savior either way.

In the nation of Israel a person who had a vow was known as a Nazarite. The Nazarite was distinguished from others by the fact that a razor never touched his head during the period of the vow. Samson was a Nazarite. Jesus was a Nazarine (from Nazareth) not Nazarite. If Jesus' hair and beard had been long he would have stood out like a sore thumb and would not have had to be identified by Judas.

As far as the color of his skin - the only clue we have is found in Revelation 2:18 - "These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze." When I look at my feet, they don't look like bronze, they look like the color of New York Vanilla ice cream!

But like Grimm said, it doesn't matter.

Of course, you all know that when (if...) you get to heaven, you'll find out that God is a woman. ;)
