April 24 – The White Jesus of Mormonism. Matthew 21:11 “And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.”
John 1:45-46 “Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.”

We’ve given only 2 examples to show Jesus came from the region of Galilee, who was born to Mary, an Israelite.
The region was home to a people with dark olive skin, black hair, and who would look much like people in the Middle East we know today.
Ask your Mormon friend/loved one if they’ve ever thought about Jesus’ physical appearance, and why Joe Smith would say He (Jesus) was white.

3 Nephi 19:30 “And when Jesus had spoken these words he came again unto his disciples; and behold they did pray steadfastly, without ceasing, unto him; and he did smile upon them again; and behold they were white, even as Jesus.”
