What Would Jesus Wear if he returned? Surely he'd not be wearing that same 2000 year old robe and sandals. Nor that really long hippie hair style. How would Jesus look? Would people recognize him? This must be an important issue for everyone concerned with the last day, isn't it? What if Jesus decided to first visit Washington, would he interrupt the Congressional bickering over climate change or war in Afganistan? Would he demand to speak to Obama immediately or maybe the White House Press Corp? Have people who expect Jesus return soon even planned a welcoming committee to meet him? It seems there would be much to do about greeting Jesus appropriately and with all the fanfare that could be mustered. Just look at the daily coverage of Michael Jackson. Surely Jesus would rate much higher on the celebrity scale.

What if Jesus first went to Israel? Would the Jews recognize Jesus? How would the Jews greet Jesus? With another cross to nail him on or the Israeli Intelligent Soldiers holding him at a check-point? These things are important to consider for people who eagerly await the arrival of Jesus. Where would Jesus first go in Israel? Maybe the Temple Mount? OR the office of Israeli tourism? I wonder if Jesus would recognize Jerusalem after being away from home for 2000 years? Jesus might even need a tour guide and lots of those little maps to show him above all else, the Empty Tomb.

I'm not sure that people who are awaiting Jesus are preparing for his arrival. I've seen nothing on the websites about it or even from the TV evangicals. I wonder if they have a speacial sattelite aimed at the outer most limits of the universe in order to spot Jesus before he gets here. But what would Jesus wear? People must be able to recognize him, else, Jesus might just roam around from city to city and country to country before shouting "LOOK AT ME! I'M HERE!!"

Would you be able to recognize Jesus? What Would Jesus Wear? Maybe he's already here and you have failed to see his appearance because you don't know what Jesus is wearing? Stranger things have happened I've been told. Sometimes people can't see what's right in front of them and so they miss whatever it is they're looking for.

What Will Jesus Wear?

:mrgreen: :o :shock:

Jesus is dead.

He's not showing.

Ros must be thinking of Saul/Paul's "Christ."

Being entirely a product of Saul/Paul's fevered imagination......he's not showing either.

Tis a Passion Play Logos. "Where two or more are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them". How the heck is this supposed to be interpreted? Does Jesus just zoom in among those who are discussing his teaching? But as God he's invisible to the naked eye. Therefore, those who see Christ as a physical human are blind to the truth of his appearance. How does "Christ" then appear 'at his coming'? What appearance does he present or represent? Maybe the comforter? What does this mean? The consciousness contemplating the actions of man, how the followers of Jesus are seeking a more perfected truth? Does truth set one free of Jesus as they "see" Christ?

Who was/is the character Jesus in the play? His role has been expanded to a worldwide audience whereof ALL are "Christ", anointed by their namesake, conscienceness or conscience awareness? Basically it's a brain-teaser.

Of course Christ is that which is showing. But one must look for his appearance. Christians have been looking skyward awaiting his second coming when he plainly said he would return to those who looked for his appearance. At any time, sooner or later, it doesn't matter. He's ready to appear to those who look for him. Have you seen him yet? ;)

He is the comforter of man's soul. In the thoughts of men is where Christ appears. "Have I not said that ye are gods?"

There is no other explanation than this: Those who follow Christ are god-men, thus "godly words in the flesh" can mean nothing more than thoughts that judge good from evil. "The Spirit would not always strive with man in that he is also flesh".

"This mortal must put on immortality". The play thus proceeds to its conclusion. Righteousness[rightness] in the mind of men.

Well, if Prada isn't good enough for Jesus then he'll just have to settle for filthy rags. :lol:
