Isaiah 53:2 He had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. ESV
This chapter of Isaiah talks about the Messiah. I would encourage you to read the whole thing and then tell me who you think the Messiah is. There is no mistaking the life and death of Jesus Christ in this chapter - no mistaking it at all.
But I want to just focus on this one verse. Contrary to movies and paintings, Jesus was just a garden variety Jewish man of the 1st century. He did not float above the ground (except when he walked on water), he did not glow in the dark (except on the Mount of Transfiguration) and he was just not that impressive.
Jesus isn't impressive, he is right. You should believe in him because of what he said and did, not because he is a charismatic leader.
