That would be interesting, but it feels like it would be too strange to take root on an alien planet.
Although, if a massive alien civilization came to Earth to see the birth of The Christ, that would be very strange. Making this work would be a fascinating sci-fi story. The son of God is re-born on a different planet and basically does the same thing: attempts to deliver a people from oppression through spiritual reformation and wisdom, becomes a popular healer, but then is killed for basically challenging authority without the authorities really being able to understand why he's actually helping them in the long run. BUT before he dies, he tells his apostles that there are many other follows of him scattered among the stars. He tells them in one of these stars he was an an animal herder and a healer, describes his execution, and shows them a cross and what a crucifixion is.
Fast forward 10,000 of their years and their crusader fleet arrives in orbit....
Or if we met aliens who were already Christians, if you want the full shyamalan twist.

I really like this idea.
'Hail, creatures. We come from Tau Ceti. Our mission is one of peace. Rather, we are missionaries. We bring with us the Word to your Godless world.'
'We'll never bow to your alien gods.'
'Accept now the Word of Jesus Christ.'
'Never!'
Camera slowly pans out and reveals the aliens have landed in Israel.

Honestly, I love this whole idea for a story.
