What could you do in 15 minutes?

I know a lot of people who are looking for their 15 minutes of fame. They would be so happy if they had a video that went viral, or if they had 50,000 twitter followers, or 1000 friends on Facebook. This made me think about how Jesus would spend 15 minutes if he had the opportunity.

When you look in the Bible, you read about Jesus making a massive impact on someone in a short conversation. In John 3, we see Jesus talking with Nicodemus. Jesus doesn't waste any time, he immediately starts talking about the Kingdom of God and the importance of being born again.

In John 4, Jesus asks the woman at the well for a drink of water and immediately starts talking about living water.

In John 8, we see a woman condemned to death for adultery. Jesus says "let the person without sin cast the first stone." As the people walk away Jesus tells the woman to go and sin no more.

It doesn't take a lot of time to make an impact on someones life.

Let us struggle this weekend to take 15 minutes out of our day and share the good news of the gospel with someone.
