look like Jesus...

[Udanor]

Lately I have grown a beard and long hair, and I like it! But people seem to think that I look like the traditional picture of Jesus..
So people call me Jesus..

Im wondering if I should be offended or happy about it?
What would you do?

I know that people are just joking about it, but im thinking, Im not worthy to be called Jesus.....

If I were Christian, I'd probably resent the association. Mainly because it seems to reduce Jesus to a guy with long hair and beard.

Is there such a thing a 'should' feel? You feel the way you feel. No one on this board knows the answer, and anyone who tells you how you should feel would probably be best ignored. You've already said how you feel - unworthy.

I find it amusing because in all likelihood, Jesus didn't look anything like that while on earth. He probably looked like today's arabs/Israelites. He certainly didn't look like the church has portrayed him over the last few thousand years.
