Jesus - how he would be received nowadays by Christians

11/25/2004

Over the centuries Christians have persecuted Jews, claiming that they were responsible for the death of Jesus. But imagine if Jesus were to return: would he be happy to see what Christianity has become over time? I hope Christians will forgive me, but the scene Jesus would behold and the sermons he would hear would remind him of what he had condemned in the Pharisees and Sadducees, and once again he would rise in protest against the state of things. But instead of listening to him, it would now be the Christians who would plot to have him killed. Yes, the Christians of today would put him to death, or arrange to have him silenced.
