Oh, there was an SF story about that. Jesus is making other stops
to alien planets, and Earth guys are trying to catch up with him.
They, and another human opposed to them go to a planet where he's
supposedly been sited. The natives say yep, he was by, but left.
That was lie though, and the "good" human gets a chance to meet
the big guy.
Bradmury. "The Man," I believe.
That's it. It was in The Illustrated Man. Wikipedia summary (looks like
I had a few details off):
"The Man" - A group of space explorers land on a planet to find the
population living in a healthy state of bliss. Upon investigation, they
discover that an enigmatic visitor came to them. Further description
leads the two spacemen to believe that this man is Jesus (though he is
never named, leaving room for other religious personas). One decides to
spend the rest of his days on the planet, living and rejoicing in the
wake of the man's glory. The other continues in his spaceship, "chasing
'him' always a step behind, never fast enough to catch up to him,
constantly trying to achieve the unachievable." Other members of the
crew decide to stay on the planet to learn from the contented citizens,
and are rewarded by the discovery that "he" is still on the planet.
