It’s interesting, to me at least, to ask people to describe how they see Jesus when they pray or talk to him. For most folks it’s difficult to carry on an inner dialogue without some visualization of the person, so most or many people do know what Jesus looks like - to them.

Maybe he is blond and blue-eyed to Swedes and Danes. ;)

I’ve never found the source of my tagline, though it’s been around for some time. I like it because it defines the sacramental life while including the sovereignty and mystery of God. It’s a short definition of the Church, IMO.

thanks for your reply...

We can all imagine what he would have looked like and it wouldn't matter. Jesus came to this Earth as an average appearing Middle Eastern Jew. The Jews were God's Chosen people. He would have all the characteristics of a Jew. I do believe a blue-eyed halo wearing blonde would have stood out in the crowds.
