Many people would say he’s a Christ-like figure. True‚ he was not perfect.

The bible never mentioned no description of the physical apparence of Jesus. That’s why every nation painted Jesus their own way‚ because the bible did not cite any detail about his color or race‚ and ‘’the boy painted Jesus black’’. Was he wrong? Who knows.
