Wanted

the new testament states that a warrant was issued for the arrest of jesus and that judas was the man that turned him in.. this warrant would have carried a description of the man that called himself the king of the jews, however this description did not find it's way into the bible.. this seem's a bit odd in particular since after all it would be interesting to know what the messiah really looked like.. i mean, think about it, if you had the chance to record the events of a man of such importance would you not include a description of his image?.

the appearance of jesus has been a subject of disscusion amongst many jw's (and other christians aswell i'm sure) and i remember many such occassions when the topic was being discussed and needles to say the opinions on this matter differed greatly.. the one opinion however that usually prevailed was that of a strong well built man, after all he was a carpenter etc.... as i said there is no such description in the bible, however, it was reported by josephus in his "capture of jerusalem".. now, i don't know whether this report is a genuine one or not, maybe jh can throw some light on that, but a copy of josephus description has survived in slavonic texts and it paints a picture quite at odds with the image many people have painted for themselves:.

'...a man of simple appearance, mature age, dark skin, small stature, three cubits high, hunchbacked with a long face, long nose, and meeting eyebrows, so that they who see him might be affrighted, with scanty hair with a parting in the middle of his head, after the manner of the nazarites, and with an undeveloped beard.'.

All this dwelling on Jesus appearance is quite silly really. What he looked like matters not, what does matter is what he did for us.

pooh and piglet go preaching in the hundred-acre wood.. pooh and piglet were doing return-visits in the hundred-acre wood and wondering about things generally, especially pooh, who had forgotten his bible.. "i think i should try some more anointing, piglet," he said uncertainly.

everyone in the wood seemed to be not-at-home, and he was becoming a little low.. "yes please, pooh, please do," said piglet jumping up and down, "an oinking is always fun.

could i be the oin king for a change?".
