A few years ago, what is believed to be a statue of Jesus Christ was discovered, near Petra, about one hundred miles from Amman, Jordan. It was exciting because people have always wondered what Christ looked like. While know little of His physical appearance, much is written about what Jesus is really like. We know He was a compassionate person because when He saw the needy we are told, “He was moved with compassion…” He was forgiving, because when religious people brought a fallen woman to Him, He forgave her, saying “Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.” We know He was humble, because Matthew records that He was “gentle and lowly in heart.” We know He was caring, because we are told that He was “a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, who spent more time with the broken – hearted than with others. And we know He was loving – He gave His life on the Cross for us all.
