Jesus relates to everybody, not only those who look dumb or feel ashamed after saying something embarrassing, but also those whose physical appearance would astonish you… burn victims, deformed people with facial disfigurements, the scarred, ugly, and overweight, folks with disabilities, hunchbacks, the elderly, the overly freckled, pimpled, blemished, or birth-marked, the disproportioned, and anyone who avoids a mirror at all costs.
However horrible we think we appear, at some point in His life, Jesus looked worse, as we learn from Isaiah 52.14 NAS:
“His appearance was marred more than any man,
And His form more than the sons of men.”
