The Savior would be totally shocked if He left the pages of the Scriptures and attended most modern church services. Would the real Jesus be welcome at your Sunday morning worship? Before you emphatically shout "yes" please consider your answer. There are many modern church practices that would be completely foreign to the Messiah.
The Savior's custom was to meet each week on Saturday at the Synagogue. This is found in the 10 Commandments as well as Luke 4. Do you keep the 7th day of the week as holy?
The Messiah spoke Hebrew and possibly Aramaic. Do your worship services include a dialect of the Hebrew language? (Luke 3:21-22 & Zephaniah 3:9)
He never attended an Easter morning sunrise service or Christmas cantata. Easter wasn't commemorated until sun worship invaded true Christianity with the Nicean council in 321AD. Choir music wasn't a part of church services until the Pope Gregory allowed such in the 6th century.
His skin was not black or white. He didn't have blond hair and blue eyes. Instead, this Middle Eastern man was probably a man of colour with dark skin and red hair like His ancestor King David. Does your church welcome people of different races? (1 Samuel 16:12 & Isaiah 53:2)
Biblical accounts show him disrupting worship services to cast out demons, heal the sick, or perform miracles. When was the last time a person was instantly healed during your church hour? (Mark 1:23-27)
If the Savior gave the sermon, he would only quote from the Old Testament as He did while He was on the earth. He would clear up any misconceptions about obedience to the Law of Moses. How often does your Preacher teach the commands of the Law? (Matthew 5:17 & Luke 4:8)
Jesus would have never eaten pork or shellfish. He kept a strict kosher diet as commanded in the Bible. Do potluck dinners at your fellowship hall only consist of Biblically clean food? (Leviticus 11 & Matthew 15:1)
He wore a beard, blue tassels on His garments, and covered His head at all times. Well? (Isaiah 50:6, Matthew 9:20, Hebrew 5:1-10)
The real Jesus would never discuss the trinity as this word can not be found in any Biblical text. The Messiah did say, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord," Mark 12:29.
The Messiah would prefer to sit with the outcasts of society instead of those dressed in business suits or high heels. He would welcome the prostitutes and the sick. (Matthew 9:10)
The real Jesus celebrated Passover, the Feast of Tabernacles, and Unleavened Bread as commanded in Leviticus 23. Are there any Christian denominations that follow the Savior's example here? (Luke 2:41 -50 & John 2:13; 7:10)
He would not recognize the name "Jesus Christ" as He never heard this phrase while He walked the earth. The name "Jesus" is a modern invention of linguists. His true name was given in Hebrew to his Jewish parents as Y'shua Ben Yosef. (Luke 2:21)
