Of course I know we'll be shocked and surprised at first when we saw Him but the question is... "What will you do afterwards?"
Will you scream and run for your life, will you just stare at Him until He disappear, will you cry, will you kiss Him, hug Him, talk to Him, and the list goes on...
I'll probably do all the things mentioned above...
Honestly, I don't really know what to feel when that moment comes but I'm sure it will be the greatest day of my life.
Seeing my Savior and my greatest friend right in front of me would be the best of all the best experience there is!
What about you?
For the non-believers... will you believe now?

I would fall to His feet, crying and begging for forgiveness, I'm sure. I don't think I would have the strength to do anything but that.

For me,begging for His forgiveness is not the correct words for that...just being sincere on your repentance (meaning really comes from your heart) is enough for Jesus to forgive you,or forgive us...but ofcourse if that's your way of asking forgiveness, why not?...in any way,there's nothing wrong about that,but just being sure of your sincerity on asking it...
Jesus loves us...so much!!!That He would not let us beg for His forgiveness,he would automatically forgive you!!!What a loving and forgiving Saviour!!!

I would do that like you do, and follow him from then on just like the disciples in Bible. But one thing still not clear is how do you know he is the real Jesus.

Beeing not a religious person, i will be shocked. Why Jesus? Why not somebody else? I will accept it as a sign for something, not neccesary to follow a certain religious system. And i will believe that this is a positive sign, support, help from the heaven.

What would I do? probably jump and scream cause he scared the crap outta me poppin up outta nowhere like that, then I'd give him hell for popping up outta nowhere like that and a punch in the arm...then after catchign my breath and ripping off a string of obcenities I'd just say "hey, whats up"
would I change my beliefs or "believe" now...nope...I mean I would obviously believe that he existed but it wouldnt change my ways or convince me to....there'd be no reason for it...

If jesus will appear suddenly, I will request him to please please save Israel. A small beautiful country which wants to survive peacefully, which does not mean harm to anybody is surrounded by ignorant jealous enemies who want to wipe out this country from this earth. I will ask him protect each and every soldier of Israel and never to seperate them from their families. I will ask him to free Gilat sharit.. a 18 year old soldier kidnapped and nearly one year away from his parents.......If Jesus is a saviour, then he should save Israel. I love Israel as much as I love India.

Thanks for your concern cristobert. There is no information about the two soldiers kidnapped by hizbulla.....nobody speaks about them..... God knows even if they are alive. As for Gilat Sharit... poor 19 year old child is being tortured between dirty political games of two nations......There was some hope some days before when they spoke about exchange of prisoners...but looking at the present crisis at Gaza.......Who knows what will happen now....It is so painful........God has also stopped doing mircacles.......no hope now.

I have no idea what I would do, I just don't know. I could say I would cry and then when the time comes I don't, I cannot predict what emotion it would bring up in me. I am usually a person who does not show a lot of emotion on the outside, but I feel it on the inside.

I think I would say as Thomas his disciple did "My Lord and My God". I know that when that day comes that he does return to take us home will be a wonderful day! God Bless You! :)

Well i think i will be shock! well honestly speaking the first thing that came up in my mind was i will ask him everything i want, so we will not suffer, but maybe i was wrong he is not a genie to do that, so i'd rather ask him forgiveness, thanks him for everything and that he will save me... what do you think?

Excellent answer, jbelle! You get a + from me. One of the two thieves who were crucified next to Jesus looked at Him and believed. He said, "Remember me when you get into your Father's kingdom." Jesus replied, "Believe me I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise." :)
Your response is heart-warming. Good for you!
Love, santuccie
P.S.: Laughing at dumb jokes is still good for your health!!!

See Jesus right in front of me?!?!? WOW!!!! That would certainly be the greatest moment of my life. I could even die and be with Him right after. Hehehe.
But really, of course I really wouldn't know what I would do then. But what I really want to do is to run towards Him, hug Him tightly and cry. They will be surely the tears of joy. But at the same time, I think that I would also be able to feel a pang of guilt...for all the things I should've done for Him but didn't and for all the things I shouldn't have done (coz I know that it would hurt Him) but still did those anyway. I don't know but it definitely will be mixed emotions. But gladness is the dominant feeling. Happy and gay that I am able to see and hold my one and only Lord and Savior.

I've had a lot of discussions with non-believers, and the one question most has asked was, "what if I die and there's no God?". My opinion is such, I'd rather live my life as a believer. When I die and there's no God, well, so be it. But if I don't believe, die and come face to face with Jesus, it's going to be way to late to try and change my opinion on the Afterlife. I'll rather like to see my Savior and know that I'll spend eternity at His feet...-Ronelle Fulton

Jesus would probably be ignored y most people nowadays. As someone who is undecided I think I'd just pass by and let others do as they please.

Actually I would be shocked. Anyone who suddenly appears in front of me without warning is going to shock whether I know them or not.
If I did see Jesus, it would be like a beloved brother who has been gone for a long time. I'd give him a big hug! No need to bow and beg for mercy if Jesus has already forgiven me. Jesus is more loving than people realize. After all, isn't that what Jesus preached when he was on this world? God's unconditional love for us?!
God bless!

As an atheist I would head to my local hospital and be checked for Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. One of the most common side effects of having TLE is having "visions" of religious images...I am including a link for more info from wikipedia.

After the first minute of disbelieve I would probably stammer that I was glad he came. I would love to talk to him as I think He would be easy and nice to talk to.
