Give A Description Of Jesus

I was asked to give a description of Jesus Christ. I gave the usual explanation of Revelations 1:13-19, and 19:11-16. That's the standard description given by the average believer. Even most Christian preachers for that matter. This person drew my attention to what I feel is an over site on my part. Most people have only investigated as far as they have been told. They heard enough to satisfy their curiosity and they left it at that. Most people haven't actually taken time to read the entire story for themselves. Revelations is the least read and understood book in the entire bible. Revelations are the revelations of Jesus Christ himself. Written by John on the Island of Patmos. Why would Jesus need a description of himself ? I know I'm not the first person to come to this conclusion. Read Revelations 1:1-4 for yourself. I honestly hadn't read it to get the full understanding before now. I have used this scripture many times, to prove a point I thought. Without anyone ever calling my hand. They obviously hadn't read it either. I'm guilty of quickly dismissing the opinions, of non-believers and Muslims. For once they actually had a valid point. It was just for the wrong reasons. Now I realize I just was as wrong as they were. After much study and meditatio. I've come to this conclusion. The holy bible doesn't give a description of Jesus.

The most credible source to date, is what is called the "Archko volume". It contains transcripts of legal documents written during the time, Jesus walked the earth. Publicus Lentullus and Pontious Pilate, both gave detailed accounts of his appearance. The book that was published in 1887, was the translation by a Missouri preacher named W.D. Mahan. Who claimed to have visited Rome and Constantinople, Turkey. Those who look at spirituality from an ethnic point of view. Are probably going to reject this description. More than likely they will claim this was written by the White man too. Click on the Link below and read it for yourself. It made sense to me, see what you think.
