Description of Christ
Selected
The following beautiful description of our Saviour is said to have been found in a manuscript written by Lucius Lenthulus, President of Judæa, to the Roman Senate, and is well worthy of preservation by those who are his followers at the present time:—
"There is at present a man in Judæa of a singular character whose name name is Jesus Christ. The barbarians esteem him as a prophet, but his followers adore him as the immediate offspring of the immortal God. He is endowed with such unparalleled virtue as to call back the dead from the grave and heal every kind of disease with a word or touch. His person is tall and elegantly shaped, his aspect mild and reserved. The hair flows in those beautiful shades which no united color can match, falling into graceful curls below his ears, agreeably touching on the schoulders and parting on the crown of his head, like the head-dress of Nazarenes. His forehead is smooth and large; his cheeks, without spot, are of a lovely red; his mouth and nose are finished with exquisite symmetry; his beard is thick and suitable to the color of his hair, reaching a little below his chin and parting in the middle like a fork; his eyes are large, bright, and serene. He rebukes with mildness and invites with the most persuasive language, his whole address, whether in words or deeds, being elegant, grave, and strictly characterstic of an exalted being. No man has ever seen him laugh, but the whole world beheld him weep, and so persuasive are his tears that one cannot refrain from joining in sympathy with him. He is modest, temperate, and wise; and whatever the phenomenon may turn out in the end, he seems a being of excellent beauty and divine perfection, in every respect surpassing the children of men."—Selected.
