And Jesus must have been a brown-skinned, black-haired Judean, like other Judeans of His time. However, His Divine nature transcends His earthly looks, so Europeans painted him as one of their own, Africans paint Jesus as a Negroid, while the ancient Church of Assyria which spread to China painted Christ with Oriental features. And why not? He came for all mankind, irrespective of our features

Personally speaking I do not care the color of his skin. What does matter is what we are told from the beginning and that starts with the Adam, what his name literally means, given - Written, preserved for all time his being the beginning to the lineage to Christ. There were duties and requirements specifically give to the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We are told from generation to generation about what these children did, and did not do. The promise was given to Abraham and even in spite of these stubborn, stiff-necked sottish children that promise would be fulfilled. Christ was born of a virgin, he was sacrificed, and he did rise. Since that event ALLLLL peoples of this world "IF" they will have the offering of salvation.
