Add comments on Jesus use of technology metaphors
* The hearts of unrepentant Israel are like a poorly tended baker's oven ([[Hosea 7:4]] - [[Hosea 7:7]])
* A plumb-line provides a standard reference point against which our conduct can be judged ([[Amos 7:7]] - [[Amos 7:8]], [[Isaiah 28:17]])
Jesus makes powerful metaphoric use of technology in many places, to draw his audience from something that they know well towards some new spiritual concept. This is both great communication and tacit approval for use of technology. Some examples are:
* The kingdom of God is like a fishing net ([[Matthew 13:47]])
* Don't hide a lamp under a bowl ([[Mark 4:21]])
*
