What Does Jesus Look Like

Focus Verse: John 1:18 “No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.”

What Does Jesus Look Like

This seems like a strange focus verse for a 2^nd study on what God looks like. Yet, in time, it will become apparent for all to see why we are using this verse. In Part 1 of “What Does God Look Like”, we used the scriptures own description to reveal a shadow of God’s true beauty. In Part 2, we will focus on The New Jerusalem, God’s voice, what His presence does to the earth, how no one can see God, and then how, if you have seen Jesus, you have seen what God looks like. Ending with the Bible’s description of what Jesus now looks like in Heaven. So, let’s get started!

God Made A City In His Image

Revelation 21:10-11 “So he took me away in the Spirit to a huge, majestic mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. (11) The city possesses the glory of God; its brilliance is like a precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper”

Revelation 21:18-21 “The city’s wall is made of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass. (19) The foundations of the city’s wall are decorated with every kind of precious stone.

(21) And the twelve gates are twelve pearls – each one of the gates is made from just one pearl! The main street of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.

What Does Jesus Look Like

Remember how we read above about the City of Crystal Clear Jasper.

This goes with the verse about crystal clear gold streets. It is meant to convey that it is without defect, fully pure, being able to see through the color of it without impurity or distortion.

This also makes sense since His throne is also a giant Sapphire stone fashioned into a throne.

Ezekiel 10:1 “As I watched, I saw on the platform above the top of the cherubim something like a sapphire, resembling the shape of a throne, appearing above them.”

What Does Jesus Look Like

The City is fully filled with the light of God’s Glory.

Revelation 21:22-23 “I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. (23) The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.”

Still & Small

1 Kings 19:11-13 “He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind.

(11) The LORD gives his people strength; the LORD grants his people security.”

To be in God’s presence, you must not value your life over God and His presence. You must be willing to die and be torn apart by His awesome power, and not resist it.

The Effect His Presence Has On The Earth

What Does Jesus Look Like

Since God resides in all dimensions seen and unseen, when He presents Himself within our four dimensions of height, width, depth, and time, very powerful and strange things start to transpire.

From Our Last Study We Read:

The Effect Of His Presence: He Purifies And Makes Holy

Exodus 3:4-5 “When Yahweh saw that he came over to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!” He said, “Here I am.” (5) He said, “Don’t come close. Take off your sandals, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.”

Let’s Continue On:

Psalms 68:7-8 “O God, when you lead your people into battle, when you march through the wastelands, (Selah) (8) the earth shakes, yes, the heavens pour down rain before God, the God of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.”

Exodus 19:9-20 “The LORD said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with you and so that they will always believe in you.” And Moses told the words of the people to the LORD. (10) The LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and make them wash their clothes (11) and be ready for the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. (12) You must set boundaries for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves not to go up on the mountain nor touch its edge. Whoever touches the mountain will surely be put to death! (13) No hand will touch him – but he will surely be stoned or shot through, whether a beast or a human being; he must not live.’ When the ram’s horn sounds a long blast they may go up on the mountain.” (14) Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. (15) He said to the people, “Be ready for the third day. Do not approach your wives for marital relations.” (16) On the third day in the morning there was thunder and lightning and a dense cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a very loud horn; all the people who were in the camp trembled. (17) Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their place at the foot of the mountain. (18) Now Mount Sinai was completely covered with smoke because the LORD had descended on it in fire, and its smoke went up like the smoke of a great furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently. (19) When the sound of the horn grew louder and louder, Moses was speaking and God was answering him with a voice. (20) The LORD came down on Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain, and the LORD summoned Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.”

Hebrews 12:18-21 “For you have not come to something that can be touched, to a burning fire and darkness and gloom and a whirlwind (19) and the blast of a trumpet and a voice uttering words such that those who heard begged to hear no more. (20) For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.” (21) In fact, the scene was so terrifying that Moses said, “I shudder with fear.”

Psalms 114:1-8 “When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind, (2) Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his kingdom. (3) The sea looked and fled; the Jordan River turned back. (4) The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. (5) Why do you flee, O sea? Why do you turn back, O Jordan River? (6) Why do you skip like rams, O mountains, like lambs, O hills? (7) Tremble, O earth, before the Lord – before the God of Jacob, (8) who turned a rock into a pool of water, a hard rock into springs of water!”

Judges 5:3-5 “Hear, O kings! Pay attention, O rulers! I will sing to the LORD! I will sing to the LORD God of Israel! (4) O LORD, when you departed from Seir, when you marched from Edom’s plains, the earth shook, the heavens poured down, the clouds poured down rain. (5) The mountains trembled before the LORD, the God of Sinai; before the LORD God of Israel.”

Habakkuk 3:4-19 “His brightness will be as lightning; a two-pronged lightning bolt flashing from his hand. This is the outward display of his power. (5) Plague will go before him; pestilence will march right behind him. (6) He took his battle position and shook the earth; with a mere look he frightened the nations. The ancient mountains disintegrated; the primeval hills were flattened. His are ancient roads. (7) I saw the tents of Cushan overwhelmed by trouble; the tent curtains of the land of Midian were shaking. (8) Was the LORD mad at the rivers? Were you angry with the rivers? Were you enraged at the sea? Such that you would climb into your horse-drawn chariots, your victorious chariots? (9) Your bow is ready for action; you commission your arrows. Selah. You cause flash floods on the earth’s surface. (10) When the mountains see you, they shake. The torrential downpour sweeps through. The great deep shouts out; it lifts its hands high. (11) The sun and moon stand still in their courses; the flash of your arrows drives them away, the bright light of your lightning-quick spear. (12) You furiously stomp on the earth, you angrily trample down the nations. (13) You march out to deliver your people, to deliver your special servant. You strike the leader of the wicked nation, laying him open from the lower body to the neck. Selah. (14) You pierce the heads of his warriors with a spear. They storm forward to scatter us; they shout with joy as if they were plundering the poor with no opposition. (15) But you trample on the sea with your horses, on the surging, raging waters. (16) I listened and my stomach churned; the sound made my lips quiver. My frame went limp, as if my bones were decaying, and I shook as I tried to walk. I long for the day of distress to come upon the people who attack us. (17) When the fig tree does not bud, and there are no grapes on the vines; when the olive trees do not produce, and the fields yield no crops; when the sheep disappear from the pen, and there are no cattle in the stalls, (18) I will rejoice because of the LORD; I will be happy because of the God who delivers me! (19) The sovereign LORD is my source of strength. He gives me the agility of a deer; he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain. (This prayer is for the song leader. It is to be accompanied by stringed instruments.)”

From My Forthcoming Book…..

The Following Is A Compiled Description Of Jesus:

What Does Jesus Look Like

“She starts “It has been said that if you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father, He is the expressed image of His Dad. The hairs of His head are white like wool and snow. His eyes are like a flame of fire also, and His feet look like polished bronze purified in fire. When you look at Him, He seems to be as bright as the sun at noon day. The sound of His voice is like the roar of rushing waters. When He stands before the Good King to serve, He wears a golden sash around His chest, clothed in a long robe. Yet, when He goes out to make war, he wears a Red robe that looks like it has been dipped in blood. Written on it and on His thigh is “Kings of Kings and Lords of Lords”. Being called “Faithful and True” by the Good King, He rides atop a mighty white horse, wearing on His head multiple crowns, having a bow like a rainbow of His head. He bears a sickle in His hand. He is the leader of the armies of the kingdom. The armies are also clothed in pure and white fine linen. They too ride white horses just like Him. And at all times He is called the Word, appearing like there is a sharp, two-edge sword coming from His mouth. His heart is just like one of His Dad in every single way. He ever lives to please His Father and serve on our behalf in the kingdom.”
