WHO NEVER SAW HIM

"A young man appeared preaching with humility, a new law in the Name of the GOD who sent HIM.  HE offended many Religious leaders but not the people...what a contrast between HIM and the other teachers and philosophers of  our day.  HIS golden hair and beard gave HIM a celestial aspect.  Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance..."  Where is this description of JESUS in the Bible?  IT IS NOT!  It is in a letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar.  Notice he only slightly describes JESUS'S outward appearance; rather he chose to describe the Character and Serenity.  So where do all of our modern day pictures of JESUS originate?  Depending upon the region, each picture gives HIM a different ethnicity.  Do we in an effort to have a "tangible" GOD, try to make HIM in our image?  Exodus 20:4, "You shall not make for yourself a graven  image, or any likeness..."  How do we see JESUS?  Is HE in everything and beyond, or is HE in a picture someone painted WHO NEVER SAW HIM?
