Which Jesus is cooler:
- Little 6 pound, 8 oz Baby Jesus in the manger?
- Grown-up Jesus with the hipster beard?
- *EDIT* Black Jesus with feet like brass and hair like lamb’s wool(painted by J.J. on a now-classic episode of Good Times)
Don’t ask me why that thought even crossed my mind tonight. Just answer the question!

I’m pretty partial to the “Black” one described in the Bible as having hair like wool myself.
Grown up Jesus because he did a whole lot more than baby Jesus.
Oh lord, I am tired… can’t even spell my nick. lol Leon, please correct that to nexy if you can.
@ Anonymousnupe, I forgot to mention “Black Jesus with feet of brass and hair of lamb’s wool.” You just made em think of the Black Jesus painting episode of Good Times! LOL
@ Nexu, but baby Jesus was adorable, and wise men gave him stuff for free!
I already feel a little guilty for typing this topic without thinking about it first!
LOL I mistyped it too, even though I knew it was you, Nexy!
Baby Jesus is good for children and that cute element.
Grown up Jesus is used to convey a message and/or show significance.
It really depends on the vibe that you are looking for Leon.
grown up black jesus who was a dread is cooler…long ass dreadlocks like damian marley…
pamoja!!!
cosigns with bellasbiz…
I’m gonna go with the grown up Jesus. Anybody who can turn water into wine is cool with me because MetroMan likes to get drunk every now and then.
“…you know normally I don’t do this but uh…*dap*…’gone head and keep the party going…”
I’d say Black Jesus ala Good Times. Yall know he was the one that turned the water into wine and the veggies into swine.
LMAO @ metro man , I would have to say black Jesus…having rough day at work and this is making it a little better
I saw one of the nicest depictions of a Black Jesus on Display @ MLK lib maybe like 6 years back….It showed a dread locked strong black Jesus, gently carrying this woman who appeared to had fainted- my interp- from the stresses/hardships of life and The Lord was carrying her….That piece really touched me.
So give me a grown up Jesus, true!!!!
Black Jesus lives in DC.
He’s that old homeless man who lives under that overpass on New York Ave. Ere’body calls him the Leaf Man or Branch Man cuz he waves leaves at the cars that drive by him and blesses them. That brotha has been there since I’ve had my driver’s license. That’s 20+ years….
Black Jesus is also the name of the rap group that sings “What That Thing Smell Like”. Classic BET UnCut video…
@ Jabari I remember that shit! Hilarious! I miss BET Uncut!
I like grown, hipster Jesus. He just seems like that guy who’d be cool and conscious without trying too hard.
MY favorite Jesus is lil’ Brown Baby Jesus, as pictured on my blog. While I love the grown Black Jesus, the baby one is my favorite. It just makes me feel like I can do for Him since he’s done SOOOO much for me. I’ve imagined an entire Sanctified Nursery for Him in my mind and everything. Wooo, I love me some BBJ.
I thought JJ painted Ned the wino?
Good memory @ Tiffanye! He painted Ned the wino as Black Jesus!
