In 1970 Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the lyrics for the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. In the title song to the musical Superstar, Judas asks what seems to be a reasonable question of Jesus:
Why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land? If you'd come today, you would have reached a whole nation, Israel in 4BC had no mass communication.
Today we know that Jesus had far less chance of getting his message out today than he did in 28 AD. The atheist religion is even more vocal against Jesus today than the pharisees were at the time of Jesus’s crucifixion. In today’s world of social media, truth is not only optional, it is mostly shunned. Today’s CYKIAE is about Jesus after his death and before his resurrection – about things that aren’t usually given a lot of attention – but wow, they are amazing.
