The Jesus “Elevator Talk”
 
I love this idea.  As a businessman, I have a 30-second “elevator talk.”  That’s a brief summary of who I am, what I do, and why prospective clients should work with me.  So, why not a Jesus Elevator Talk?  (No, it’s not original with me.)
 
That way, when someone either asks why I talk like someone who believes in God’s love, who challenges me at the sight of my cross, or who just seems like someone who is simmering in the pain of life, I can give him or her a half-way intelligent, focused reply.  (Mine has four points.  It’s not brilliant, but better than stammering like an idiot.  For details, check it out at www.DailyConnections.net.)
 
My point:  Just as you might do in explaining what you do in business or on the job, map out and practice your own Jesus Elevator Talk, and then plan to give it at least once a day — to a friend, a neighbor, a relative, a stranger at the bus stop.  You just might be amazed at what comes of it.  God bless and enjoy the wonders of this wondrous day. — jri
 

“These twelve Jesus sent out with the following
instructions: ‘Go nowhere among the Gentiles,
and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go
rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
As you go, proclaim the good news, The
kingdom of heaven has come near.’”
