If Jesus blogged or twittered who would be his readers or followers?

Galilee in Palestine in 30 AD was like the main drag at the Sydney Royal Easter Show or The Strand in London. There was every kind of ethnic group you could find.

There were native born Jews, foreign Jews coming for a visit or to trade, traders from all corners of the known world – importers and exporters – from Egypt, Rome, Turkey, Crete, Malta, Italy, Persia, Ethiopia, Spain, Babylonia, Syria, Assyria. There were Roman soldiers and officers, Roman citizens, slaves, the poor, the sick, wealthy women, rich landlords, Herod's soldiers and courtiers, political insurgents, rebels, loyalists.



Does that remind you of any collective audience today?

It's a lot like the internet community, isn't it? He'd have impacting things to say to the Internet community today too.
