Have you ever wondered why God chose to send his son Jesus at the time that he did? God knew that in our lifetime we would have internet, telephones, televisions, etc. But, he chose to send his son at a time where the only way for the story to be told was simply through generations.
.
Had Jesus been born during our lifetime it would have been videoed and more than likely his birth would have been broadcast live on television or the internet. Poor Mary would have had the paparazzi following her around for nine months prior to his birth constantly taking pictures of her belly and there would be some internet poll as to exactly who the father is. Joseph would not be able to work because there would be tons of news crews sitting outside of his carpentry factory just hoping to get a glimpse of him at work.
.
With every miracle Jesus performed the news media would be right there to report on it. Everyone would know what, when, where and why Jesus was doing what he was doing. When Judas betrayed Jesus, Larry King or Bill O'Reilly would have Judas on their show to discuss how he felt at that moment and why he made the decision he did. I wonder if they would report on the actual crucifiction?
.
If Jesus would have been born in our lifetime everyone, everywhere would know about him, they would be able to see him with their own eyes and there would be no questions, no doubt, no......faith! If Jesus were born in our lifetime 2 Corinthians 5:7 would not apply..."We live by faith, not by sight." What do you live by? Do you believe? Would your faith be different if Jesus were here on earth today? Do you have faith? More importantly, do you have Jesus?
