5 Minutes

I learned in business class yesterday that within the first minute of meeting someone for the first time you classify your feelings towards them as either positive, negative, or neutral.

95% of the time, within the next four minutes you reinforce that initial feeling.

First impressions. Interesting huh?

It made me think about Jesus, and how he always looked deeper than that. He looked at the inside, he didn't see a "homeless" man, he didn't see people by their race, he didn't see people by their occupations or lifestyle choice, he saw people as...

people.

I guess for Jesus there was no such thing as first impressions, because the impression of his fingertips was already seen all over the different people that he met.
