The Gospel in Six Verses
Posted By Joe on January 24, 2009
I've had a few employers instruct their employees to come up with their "elevator speech." In other words, if you are in an elevator (or a bus, on the subway, a train, etc.) and someone asks you, "what does your company do?" have a simple, pre-planned speech to tell that person what the company does. Just boil it down into a simple, easy-to-understand, speech. I think we, as Christians, should do the same.
Peter was able to come up with his "elevator speech" in the book of Acts. This is the message of the Gospel in six verses:
"You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. We are witnesses fo all the things He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross. God raised Him up on the third day and grant that He become visible, not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead. Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins." --Acts 10:38-43.
Do you have a elevator speech? If so, would you care to share it?
May He Increase!
