Jesus of the Gospels or the Jesus of the Church?

Greg Stevenson blogs:
I came across an interesting passage in the C. S. Lewis biography I have been reading. Prior to his conversion to Christianity, Lewis was a thorough-going atheist who strongly resisted the biblical depiction of God and particularly of Christ. As he began opening his mind to Christianity, he started to read the Gospels and was surprised by the depiction of Jesus he found there. The Jesus he encountered there was not at all the Jesus the church and society had led him to believe could be found there. (CONTINUE...)
After reading his post, what are your thoughts? In what other ways is the Jesus one encounters in the Church different from the Jesus one encounters in the Gospels?
