The website SmartMobs has an excellent story on how mobile technology, specifically SMS, is being used to empower women to stand up for and enforce their rights to not be abused. I personally very much applaud the effort that is being made here and think that as an agent of change, using text messaging to report crimes (probably picture messaging can be included here as well to keep verifiable evidence) is a great thing.
But reading this had me go on one of those tangent thoughts: "what would the Samaritian woman (John 4) have done with the power of text messaaging. What about Mary Magedline and the other ladies who saw the empty tomb? Would the effect of Christ on the Jewish culture been greater or lesser because of that technology.
I know that there is a natural urge (on my part) to say what could have been in respect to technology, but I really do wonder; what would things look like today if Jesus showed up. Just how fast would that message travel? And how many people would report the truth without any additions?

I think that is why Jesus came when He did....He came at a very specific moment in time for a purpose.
Imagine if He came today.....how many would worship pictures and videos of Him. That is why I am absolutely convinced there is bearly any mention of His appearance in all scripture.
He came and went without a "trace" of any physical trinkets or paintings of Him so that we might worship and trust Him through his word....IMHO.
