The image of Isaiah 52-53 where His visage is marred more than any other man. The visage of the thorn crowned brow and the nail pierced hands. Broken for my sin His back laid open by the stripes He received in my stead. The visage of Him ascending into heaven in all His glory and righteousness bright shining as the sun. The image only the Holy Spirit can create in the heart of a sinner humbled at the foot of His cross pleading for mercy to be forgiven for all his sins.
The image when I see Him face to face. What glory that will be.
For the cause of Christ

There he was transfigured before them.
His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.
(Matthew 17:2)
Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.
(Acts 9:3)
Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
(Acts 9:8-9)
In his right hand he held seven stars,
and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword.
His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
(Revelation 1:16)

We aren't to create a fleshly body for Christ and say that is Christ!! God is spirit and truth, not relating to a fleshly body.
My daughter lives in a body that has been so beautiful on the outside that it overwhelms who she is. It was just fine for sitting still all day long thinking as little as possible while cameras ground away. It stood in the way when she was dating, men wanted to show her off when they didn't care a lick about her as a person. Doctors explained to her that as perfect as her outside was, exrays showed some misshaped insides. Some potential employers turned her away, saying they needed her mind and they didn't think a good mind could live in such a beautiful body.
Christ is our Savior, Christ is God. Christ lived in a physical body for a short time, but we don't have a picture of that body He lived in, and now Christ has been transfigured. We must not try to put Christ in a fleshly body, it would be a distortion of Christ.
