The Perfect Image
Even after all those years, people expected every image of Jesus to look similar to the old ones. Even the outline, facial aspects, and also how he wore a white or cream robe. Sometimes some paintings had a halo over his head. There were many different ideal images of the Messiah that were created by various artists. Jean stated that many people wanted to see Jesus as a holy being.
Mighty Features
The outcome of the image was that the artists wanted to make Jesus as a holy being. If we thought about some superheroes in our era that we saw in the movies or the period of Roman people and Greek gods, then we could say that having long hair could mean a sign of power. It made the same meaning in our current era, where we could see illustrations that had the same feature as a mighty person. The features of the Messiah that had similarities with other characters that meant to be as powerful as He was.
