The Image of Jesus
"For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not." - Isaiah 53:2-3
When one reads the above scripture carefully, one will notice that Jesus Christ was not a handsome fellow. If we can paint a mental image from Isaiah's prophecy and compare it to the images that are portrayed today as the Saviour, we see clearly why Deuteronomy 4:23 says, "Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee."
Catholic Version
If one will google "Jesus Christ" and select images, we see a variety of handsome looking men, whereas in the image below, if authentic or not I don't know, shows a more accurate description.
The Shroud of Christ Jesus
Although the Shroud of Jesus Christ fits Isaiah's explanation, I have found no proof of its authenticity...

What God's Word says about images should be taken as a warning.
"Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen." - Deuteronomy 27:13
I don't think God will hold us accountable of our ignorance, but there may be no forgiveness for those who are willfully insensible...
