A Jesus that joined the legions and killed enemies with a sword until he was victorious enough to be made Senator wouldn't be the Biblical Jesus, so Christianity would not be founded, or would be founded by someone else.
[ he would still be quoted as saying "I came not to bring peace but a sword" but it would be in the context of military conquest ]

Would be interesting if Senator Jesus lived to a ripe old age, into his 70's, long enough to have some conversations with a certain Flavius Josephus...
You'd have to radically change him to the point where he'd be unrecognizable. You're not going to go from messianic preacher in a provincial backwater to the Senate in Rome. Not happening.
This is like asking what would Shakespeare's plays be like if he was King of England.

I think you’re really overestimating how easy it is to become a senator. It’s not something you can just do if you’re driven enough. And if by some happenstance he does become one then Christianity doesn’t become a thing.
Were there no local senators in the Roman empire? If there were, that may be an easier development, and we get Jesus, senator of Jerusalem.
More like, what if Shakespeare was king of Spain. The whole jumping into a very different culture is a huge part of this as well.
