Blue Eyed Jesus

Every Christmas I make it a tradition to add a new ornament to my daughter's collection. Each one has a memory attached to it. When she is old enough to leave the coop, she can take all the ornaments gathered over the years to her home and decorate her tree with memories of her childhood.

This year, I wanted to make sure she remembered the reason for the season and found an ornament of Jesus, the Good Shepard. I looked it over and chuckled at how they painted his eyes blue and that got me thinking about what Jesus might have looked like. Hmm!

I wrote a little diddy of my thoughts about this matter.

'Blue Eyed Jesus'

Blue Eyed Jesus

Jesus was an Israelite

Born in the Middle East

He may have had olive skin

And straight white teeth

His hair most likely was dark brown

Who knows what length he wore,

He probably had facial hair

At times a shadow or full beard

Genetics and DNA state

The possibility that Jesus

Could have blue eyes

Brown, hazel, grey or green

Scripture is silent on his physical stature

From baby, child to adult

There is no description

And this is not by default

The fact of the matter is

We all just speculate

On the features of Jesus

The divine God man

Is His image on the burial shroud?

Did anyone make a portrait?

It’s good we do not have an image

For an idol we would make

Instead of getting to know Jesus

In faith without tangibility

Now the promise of seeing Gods face

Rests in eternity

But God in His mercy

Gave a glimpse of Himself in history

Mary, Joseph, James, Jude, Simon

His sisters and disciples

For thirty-three years in time

Saw Jesus’ human form and face

A future time we too will see

The face of Jesus again

At His second coming and

Earthly reign in the millennium

For 1000 years mankind will

Behold the face of saving grace

And meet with Him in Jerusalem

To worship; a man from every race

Think in wonder on this truth;

When we enter eternity,

We will behold Gods face in all its’ glory!




Isaiah 53 says He would not have external features to attract or draw people to him.

I don't think Jesus had blue eyes because of the above verse.
