I always remember a comment my old RE teacher made in class:
"You must remember that Jesus lived in a pretty hard time and was a manual worker. In all probability he was a pretty strong, rough looking chap who could handle any trouble if necessary."
That was somewhat at odds with the popular idea of a softly spoken little guy but - if He existed at all - is probably closer to the truth. Although I'm not religious, I rather like the idea of the Son of God being some down to earth, rough round the edges kick ass kind of guy.
