Look at the nationality He came from, and look at the distance He lived from the equator. The closer one's ancestors lived to the equator, the darker their skin. The further away one's ancestors lived, the lighter their skin. Christ's ancestor King David was a handsome man with dark skin, but it might have been a tan from being out watching the sheep so much. Jesus was purposely unbecoming so that no one would desire Him. He did not have long hair. He definitely did not look like the pictures people have of Him.
Maybe it wasn't Time magazine... it looks like the picture has "BBC" on it.... no matter, just proves my memory is, um.... less than perfect...
