“The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.” Revelation 1:14-15

Movie audiences have an insatiable desire to see what Jesus may have looked like. But the truth is the real Jesus is a portrait who must hang on the wall of our mind. White hair. That tends to come with end of life in human appearance. With Jesus it tells us of eternal pre-existence, ruler and judge, the Ancient of Days (Dan. 7:9). There has never been a time when the Son of God has not existed. In His essence He is forever deity. In His incarnation and glorification He is now eternally the God-Man. Sin is an offense to Jesus. We are to marvel at the purity and nobility of His thoughts. His eyes tell us of His penetrating scrutiny and fierce judgment. Are we awed and humbled that He knows the motivations of our heart? He knows the secret deeds of our lives. We can’t fool Jesus. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

Reflections:
How should the gaze of Jesus impact my thought life?
What will be the outcome of the first time you meet Jesus at the day of judgment?
