Words of the General Authorities:
There was nothing about [Jesus] to cause people to single him out. In appearance he was like men; and so it is expressed here by the prophet that he had no form or comeliness, that is, he was not so distinctive, so different from others that people would recognize him as the Son of God. He appeared as a mortal man. (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, referenced in Old Testament Seminary Teacher Manual:Lesson 128)

Quotes:
It is well for you to remember, while traveling on this journey of life, that there is no prison so dark, no pit so deep, no expanse so broad, that the Spirit of God cannot enter; and when all other privileges are denied us, we can pray, and God will hear us. (Ellenor G. Jones, “The Power of Prayer”, in Improvement Star 1, no. 4, referenced in At the Pulpit: 185 Years of Discourses by Latter-day Saint Women)
