- first off it is a good thing that jesus chose to come in the form of a man at the time he did. that way the cross was used as his means of execution. just think if it was very earlier it may have been a rock, how would that look on a bumper sticker. or if it was during the french revolution time peroid... a goulitine? like max lucado says, would preist do a karate chop instead of the sign of the cross then. and thank god -ironicly, thank god that jesus did come now when the symbol hat people wear as necklaces might be an electric chari, a lethal injection needle, a gas mask, a gun, or a bit older a hangmans noose. this tells me that god's timing is fitting or our reality would be quite different.

"The time is coming when everything will be revealed; all that is secret will be made public."
