 NMSU Retablo Colletion: Images of Jesus
The central figure of Christianity, Jesus Christ, is regarded by Christians as the incarnate Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, and the prophesied Hebrew Messiah (anointed one, Deliverer of Israel).
Jesus is the Greek form for Joshua, which in Hebrew means "savior." Traditional Christian imagery evolved around the major events of Christ's life including his birth, passion, crucifixion, and resurrection.
The cult of Jesus's physical Heart originated in the Middle Ages when a nun received a number of revelations and visions of the Lord telling her to spread the love of Jesus's Heart to human beings and that a liturgical feast should be kept in the honor of his Sacred Heart.

 Mary Rose D'Angelo: Images of Jesus and the Christian Vocation in the Gospels of Mark and Matthew
Luke portrays Jesus as a prophet and hero of the spiritual life; the call to follow Jesus is a call to do good as he did, to exercise the spiritual gifts and the conventional practices of ascesis.
The hemorrhaging woman exemplifies the faith that calls forth the spiritual power of Jesus even without his knowledge (5:25-34); the Greek woman wrests from Jesus favor for the gentiles (7:24-30); her bon mot is a message to him (7:29).
The terrible question of Jesus' death remains to be met in the life of the hearer, for Mark expects the community for which this Gospel is intended to encounter Jesus on the cross in a martyr's death.

 Paula Fredriksen's From Jesus to Christ
Jesus had disapproved of the Temple anyway (Mk 11); he predicted its destruction (Mk 13); what matters is the resurrection (Jn 2); its destruction means that the Kingdom, coupled with Jesus’ return, is at hand.
And the same Gospels’ insistence on Jesus’ very popularity that Passover (the priests resolve to have him killed, says Mark, "but not during the feast, lest there be a tumult of the people" 14:2) makes the choice of a public execution that much more mysterious.
The Galilee in Jesus’ lifetime was ruled by Antipas, one of Herod’s sons.

 Professor describes Islam’s images of Jesus--Ummah.comComparative Religion

It is the myth of Jesus that attracts the attention of modern poets _ the Sudanese Muhammad al-Fayturi, the Palestinian Mahmud Darwish, and al-Sayyab.

 Should we make Images of Jesus
Thus, the images made of them are without resemblance, and it is vanity to make an image and say: That is Christ, that is Mary, that is Peter, etc. Yes, even if we had their true pictures, we may nevertheless not worship, honor, nor engage in any religious activity toward them.
Aaron, by making an image of God in the form of a bull–calf, led the Israelites to think of him as a Being who could be worshiped acceptably by frenzied debauchery.
Images dishonor God, for they obscure his glory.

 Images of Jesus (Rel.216b)
In the first section of the course, we'll examine closely the earliest, most influential depictions of Jesus: the narratives of the New Testament gospels, along with other NT writings and selected non-canonical texts, such as the Gospel of Thomas.
In the third and final section of the course, we'll consider contemporary images of Jesus in theology, popular religion, scholarship, and the arts, especially film.
Our goal in this course is not to distinguish between the "real" historical Jesus and later mis/representations, any more than it is to rescue the "true" Christ of faith from heretical misappropriations.

 Fade to Black presents - Jesus 2000 Contest

To demonstrate this, we've created a timeline to show to you just how the image of Jesus has evolved to what we see and worship today.
Thus, it is interesting then to note that there has never been any photographs taken of Jesus and the Bible gives virtually no description of what Jesus may have looked liked.
