Imagine being a Roman drawing a shitpost about your Christian neighbor/friend/coworker and becoming part of history
-
What’s interesting about the bonus image is that underneath “Alex worshipping his God”, someone added graffiti saying “Alex has faith.”
-
Omg! I’m Greek and I can read the Ancient Greek very easily in the first depiction of Christ. Our language has not changed in thousands of years!
-
Wont matter what depiction we have on Earth. As soon as we see Jesus with our own eyes, we will know him.
-
Greek is an incredible language. I'm greek and I can read and understand, what a greek dude wrote 2.000 years ago

This is what I like about YouTube. It would've taken me years to gather up this information from libraries and international traveling.

There was a home excavated from the volcanic ash in Pompeii that had a cross painted on the wall over the bed so people knew the biblical story of Jesus in 79AD and worshipped Him.

I am Jewish, Jesus saved me and made me realise the way. I am indebted to you for eternity Jesus.

I live in Australia. There is a church that I used to walk past every day that is, I presume, run by Korean Christians. Every year near Christmas they would put up a painting of the nativity outside the church. A big ol' picture with a barn, baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, three wise men, etc etc. In their depiction Jesus, Mary and Joseph were all clearly Korean, wearing old-fashioned Korean clothes. The three wise men looked like Confucian scholars.

This is the gold standard of how a top 10 video should be.

if i had a time machine i’d 100% make someone paint an accurate portrait of him for everyone to see years later. how special that he have art from so long ago

I'm in my 80s. My father was a minister. Even I at a young age knew that the 1940s picture couldn't be right. There where many jews in our community, and non of them looked anything like that picture. Yes I have wondered what Jesus may look like. But I know, no matter what he may look like physically, my knees will bow before him.

tbf depicting other races is hard, I remember in Catholic school the Nuns had brought portraits of Mary from various countries and it was so interesting to see how she varied, Samoa made her look Samoan, Japan made her look Japanese etc. It's not necessarily malicious.

as someone who is orthodox, the interpretation of the first icon (the Pantocrator) that’s generally accepted is that the “angry” side represents God the Righteous Judge, while the “kind” side is God the Lover of Mankind with the gospel being where the message of both comes from
-
The Graffiti at the end blew me away. Jesus is Lord ✝️
-
Appreciate your research to provide us with pictures and drawing of how Jesus was portrayed in earlier centuries. This is one of a kind discovery for us and once again thanking you for bringing to us a Saviour we had never seen before. Almost unimaginable!
-
Some dude 2000 years ago: I kinda feel bad for making fun of Alex now that he saw the graffiti. His wife: Dont worry, I'm sure people will forget all about it. Now: And so here is the oldest depiction of Jesus!
-
Just want to point out that the “going backwards” strategy here actually created real dramatic tension! A great job on this, as always, UsefulCharts!

I watched the PBS special From Jesus to Christ, and there was one early depiction of Jesus which I didn't see you display, though I can't recall exactly where it was taken from. Thank you for the edification, the images are quite enlightening in showing the various artistic styles from various areas and eras. ✨😊
