Without argument, more paintings, drawings, images and statues have been made of Jesus than of any other person who has ever lived! Early catacomb images pictured Him with short hair and clean-shaven. Western artists of the Middle Ages up until today give Him longer hair, a beard, and more Western European features. But the truth is, the eyewitness records do not give us one shred of detailed evidence about his actual appearance. Why? The answer is not clear. But this is certain: the gospel writers were not interested in what He looked like – they wanted everyone to know what He WAS like! Welcome to our study entitled, “Portraits of Jesus.”
This sermon series of 18 messages was taught by Richard Cravy, current Dean of External Studies at SIBI.
