When the prophet Samuel was directed by God to choose the king of Israel, God gave him very specific instructions to ignore Saul, who looked more like a king but did not have a heart for God.
For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. It is important that we learn from this to not judge ourselves or others by outward appearance. Matthew, Mark, Peter, and John were disciples of Jesus who traveled with Jesus during his time of ministry and each of them wrote books about Jesus.
People often judge based outward appearance. This is not what Christians should do. Our worth is not based on how we look or how popular or attractive we are. Idol, Idolatry.

For centuries, the most common image of Jesus Christ, at least in Western cultures, has been that of a bearded, fair-skinned man with long, wavy, light brown or blond hair and often blue eyes.
According to the Gospels, Jesus was a Jewish man born in Bethlehem and raised in the town of Nazareth, in Galilee formerly Palestine, now northern Israel during the first century A. For many scholars, Revelation offers a clue that Jesus's skin was a darker hue and that his hair was woolly in texture.
The hairs of his head, it says, "were white as white wool, white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace.
He would have looked like a Jewish Galilean. Some of the earliest known artistic representations of Jesus date to the mid-third century A. These are the paintings in the ancient catacombs of St. Imagine the look on His face when the nails were placed in His hands. Imagine the look on His face when the crown of thorns was placed on His head. Imagine the look on His face when He forgave Peter. Imagine the love on Jesus' face when He sees you, over 2, years later, and forgives you for all you have done.
The book of Revelation describes what Jesus looks like after ascending to heaven with a glorified body. In two main places, Revelation 1 and 19, John sees Jesus in vision and writes down the following description. His head and hair are white like snow Rev and His eyes are like flames of fire Rev ; ; John sees Jesus holding seven stars in His right hand Rev and His feet look like highly polished brass from a furnace Rev , Revelation 19 also paints the picture of Jesus coming back to earth crowned with many crowns and sitting upon a white horse having a name written upon Him which no man knew Rev Revelation also says that the voice of Jesus is like a trumpet and the sound of many waters Rev ,15; Surviving texts say that Jews in Egypt couldn't be physically distinguished from the rest of Egypt's population around Jesus' time.
Historical records also showed that people in Judea tended to keep their hair and beards reasonably short and well-combed, probably to keep out lice, a big problem at the time, Taylor said.
Jesus likely did the same. He could have used a knife to trim his hair and beard, Taylor said, noting that people in the ancient world tended to be more skilled with knives than people are today.
Jesus is portrayed in the gospels as a carpenter who did a lot of walking but at times didn't have much to eat. This active lifestyle, but lack of regular food, meant that he was probably thin, but somewhat muscular, Taylor said. Some aspects of Jesus' face, such as his mouth and cheeks, are anyone's guess, Taylor said.
