Jesus’s Missing Description

Jesus’s Missing Description…

When you read a biography, there’s usually some description of the person. Even before photographs, there were drawings, paintings, records and descriptions. Julius Caesar was tall and thin. Alexander the Great was clean-shaven and so on.

But in the Gospels, there’s no description of what Jesus looked like, other than he had a beard. Messianic prophecy about Him in Isaiah 53 says, “He has no form that we should be attracted to Him.” Paul says, “We do not know Jesus after the flesh.”

Because He’s about truth and truth is not about appearance. So when you follow Him, you must live by faith and not by sight. We’re to be people who don’t live by what we see. God wants you to be less dependent on your physical senses and more in tuned with living by His Spirit.

The things that we see are passing away. The things that we can’t see are forever. So look away from what’s seen and live more by His Spirit, by truth, the Word and by Him who is beyond description. He’s the One who can only be seen with the eyes of faith.

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Romans 1:17

Today, look at every situation with eyes of faith instead of what you see in the natural. See everything through the love of God.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
