I Love Him Because He First Loved Me

"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,

nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

Isaiah 53:2

Someone just unfriended me and said she lost all respect for me because I said that Jesus Christ was not a handsome man that anyone would desire Him. I was merely quoting Scripture.

I presume that in order to love Jesus Christ she has to believe He was handsome even though God said He was not. It is human nature to love those who look good on the outside and to despise and ignore those who are perceived to be lacking in good looks.

God didn't want anyone following Him merely because He was handsome. He wanted them to love His Son for His character and what He would do for mankind.

It is common now for someone to interpret your words in terms of how they think and unfriend you before you have a chance to explain.

I do not love Jesus Christ because of the way He looked, no one knows how He looked except those who were with Him at the time He was on the earth. I love Jesus Christ because He loved me so much that He died for me and gave me eternal life.
