If Jesus visited the church you attend one Sunday morning, what would He do?
Preach or weep?
Congratulate everyone on the service or turn over tables and pews?
Cast out demons or be asked to quietly leave?
Sit down and talk with the most unwanted members or hang out with the preacher and the cool folks?
Sit quietly and approve of the way things are being done or stir things up?
Tell everyone “Job well done,” or cry out to everyone, “Repent!”?
What do you think Jesus would do in your church?

About Steve Simms
I like to look and think outside the box. I have written two books: Mindrobics: How To Be Happy For The Rest Of Your Life and Your Sperm Won--Experiencing Your Value As A Championship Human Being. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I lead a non-traditional church in Nashville based on open participation and Spirit-led sharing. We long to see the power and passion of the early church come to life in our time.
I have a feeling that before the service began, He would begin to greet everyone by name and those who had not yet accepted Him as Savior, He would suggest that today would be a good day to do so.
Then, He would take a seat in a pew and remain there until the service had concluded. With that, He would ask for a few moments with the Pastors and immediate associates.
Then He would leave and appear in another service – probably in the same city and continue the practice for a month or so. And then, leave for another city as surely, revival – unlike anything we have ever seen or even imagined, would break out in the areas where He had been.
And don’t be surprised to learn, He was present in a number of different locations at the same time.
