Isaiah 53:2 - “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.”
A height of 6'1" would have been notable at that time. It's just not realistic.
He can blind you to his majesty or even his presence at all, he walked with the disciples after he was resurrected and didn’t allow them to recognise Him.
The reality is that He does look a certain objective way that could be described accurately, but you see Him as he allows you to view see Him.
If you need see Him as a humble carpenter, who doesn’t stand out from the crowd, that’s what you see, if you need to see the regal intense King of ages you will see that. Many will see Him as a towering blazing inferno of Devine judgment, on a white horse and crowned.
All of the iconography is consistent, and it’s not a 5”1 Ben Dovid lookalike.
