Visage marred more than the sons of men

Many people in religion subscribe to an image of Christ but that's not him and creating any image is forbidden but they will say and give their so-called excuses why they're allowed to have images. Exodus 20.4 God is a spirit and those who worship Him must, let me reiterate that must worship Him in spirit and in truth. The Bible gives a description of him that man does not accept. There are few people but one scholar I know that puts it exactly like it is. So now in Isaiah 52:14 it gives us a description..

14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

Now here's another image what they think Christ look like..

"For many scholars, Revelation 1:14-15 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.” Mar 22, 2021 It could be this is the Christ when he comes back."

Isaiah 53:2 KJV

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

So there is no Beauty or they're talking about physical Beauty that he should be desired as he was a man well acquainted with sorrow. He was indeed the suffering servant

Daniel 7:9

“I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.”

King James Version (KJV)

“For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not… But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.” ( Isaiah 53: 2-3, 5 )

He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

Why is Jesus referred to as a man of sorrows in Isaiah 53:3?

In my afterthoughts could you imagine what the Pharisees and Sadducees and some of the scribes thought? They were looking for a charismatic, vanity oriented good looking person to fight their battles. Probably sort of a military man. Yet even though Isaiah wrote about him they did exactly what was written and they despised & rejected him. He tested them of course and he healed on the Sabbath and he stated isn't it proper to do good instead of evil on the Sabbath. They were entrenched in their own self-righteousness and in their own religious ceremonies that we can call the doctrines and commandments of men. He was sinless and no, he wasn't married to Mary Magdalene. He was perfect and if it's not in scripture don't make it up. I'm talking about people who say he was married to Mary Magdalene. He was the unblemished Lamb of God and a Jewish rabbi. A Hebrew that probably spoke a little bit of Aramaic language. He was a Jew on Earth. I remember reading about him once and a scholar or a preacher said to their audience that you too would have rejected him but you say no you would not rejected or disowned him. What he did for mankind no man has done before and he was the only man that ever walked the face of the Earth that was sinless. Of course he is risen in glory. 

Here is a copy of the Henry and Matthew concise commentary. Extremely interesting and profound.

"His visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men; he was more deformed or uncomely than any other man; which was undoubtedly verified in Christ, who, in respect of his birth, and breeding, and manner of life, was most obscure and contemptible, and therefore said to be a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people, Psalm 22:6 ; who was more hated and vilified by the generality of the Jews than any man upon earth, and was accounted and called by them a deceiver, a Samaritan, a blasphemer, and a devil, &c.; whose countenance also was so marred with frequent watchings, and fastings, and troubles, that he was thought to be near fifty years old when he was but about thirty, John 8:57 ; and was further spoiled with buffetings, and crowning with thorns, and other cruel and despiteful usages from men, and with the deep and continual sense of the burden of men’s sins, and of God’s displeasure due unto them; all which did not only oppress his spirit, but had a great influence upon the very constitution of his body."
