Have you ever “wondered” what Jesus looks like?  We’ve seen artistic renditions of His physical appearance, but what does He really look Like? 

The Gospel writer,  John, exiled by Rome on Patmos, a small  four by six-mile isolated, tree-less, volcanic, island because he would not stop preaching the Word of God and giving the powerful testimony of his Salvation Experience, saw the Resurrected Jesus Christ in a Vision.  Since no known earthly language, whether philosophical, stoic, romantic, or scientific, contains words adequate to describe what Jesus really looks like, God gave John known words that were symbolic of His Appearance…  Here is Who John saw: 

Jesus was clothed in a long garment down to His feet and it was belted by a golden belt.  His head and hair were white like wool and snow.  His eyes were as a shooting flame of unquenchable fire.  His feet were like refined brass,  still burning as it was still in the smelting furnace.  His Voice sounded like the crashing of great waterfalls.  Coming out of His Mouth was a sharp two-edged sword and his Face was lit like the brightest shining sun.  Rev. 1:12-16

And in Revelation 19, John sees Him again…

Heaven was opened and John saw a great white horse being ridden by One whose name is FAITHFFUL and TRUE.  HE is a Judge of Righteousness.  His eyes, again, were like brilliant flames of fire.  HE wore many Kingly Crowns on His Head and had a Name so great that no human could ever know.  HE was clothed in a garment stained with His Blood and His Name is called The Word of God.  His armies following Him were riding white horses and were clothed with garments made of linen, both white and clean.  Out of HIS Mouth came, again, a sharp Sword with which He will smite the nations and rule them with a rod of iron.  He treads the Wine Press of the Fierceness and Wrath of Almighty God.  HE is the Commander-in-Chief of all Heaven’s Armies and has written on His Thigh the Name: KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS.

Other Scriptures call HIM Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. The Lily of the Vally.  The Bright and Morning Star.  The Rose of Sharon and the Sun of Righteousness that rises with Healing in His wings.

No known human language contains words that can adequately describe HIS GREATNESS.  HIS WONDER.  HIS MAJESTY.  HE is LORD of ALL.                            

Worship HIM
