“When we shall see Him, there is no beauty the we should desire Him” (Isaiah 53:2). We want an air brushed, photo-shopped Jesus, the one who will sweep us away with His charisma. He did not come to serve the gods of beauty or the cult of personality. He is not a super hero. He came so common that it set off no “Wows!” He is one of us. He is one with us. That is a kind of solidarity expressing a kind of love that we cannot imagine. This kind of love is what draws us to Him. It gives us redemption and purpose. Beautiful Savior!
