If you watched the Superbowl (and if you hadn’t stepped away for more chips at this time), you might have caught the commercial about the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. If you missed it (gasp), you can still see it at…

Now, truth in advertising — we don’t work for Jeep nor do we own one. But … honestly… can ANYONE watch this commercial without experiencing a radical increase in respect and admiration for 2018 Jeep Wranglers? For $26,995 (base price, of course), you, too, can ford creeks and streams that only taunt and tease 99% of all other vehicle owners in the land. Now… we’re not sure how many people flocked to dealerships on Monday morning to buy Jeeps, but in our informal polling at soccer practice Monday evening, this Jeep Wrangler commercial was a winner (maybe THE winner?). One young man from Vietnam said, “It gave me cold chills. Goosebumps.” Another player said, “Every guy who sees that ad now respects Wranglers.”

So here’s our question: What’s the Christian equivalent? What could we say in two minutes or less that would indelibly cause friends and relatives to respect Christianity enough to want it? Would it be… “3 Circles: Sharing the Gospel” by the house church?

This 3 circles tool takes the house church people under 2 minutes to share. Is it possibly the most concise and the most compelling presentation of Christianity on earth today???

Or would it actually be a song? … like maybe “What a Beautiful Name” by Hillsong Worship?

In just over 5 minutes, Hillsong captured the beauty AND power in the name of Jesus — enough to win the Dove Award Song of the Year last year AND the Grammy Award (last week) for the Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song. After all, it has attracted 117 million views (as of today). Maybe 1000 of those are mine. But never mind that. This song is both powerful AND compelling. Would IT be the best commercial for Jesus?

Or would it be “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus” by Spoken Word (featuring Jefferson Bethke). It’s been viewed 33 million times. 1.6 million of those were in the first 24 hours. Check it out at…

Does this simple message (4 minutes long) have a greater impact than any “sermon” ever would?
