Tebow's 316

Tim Tebow Quarterback for the Denver Broncos

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.


So let's see, we have:

• An unlikely professional starting quarterback
• Who is a devout Christian
• With a track record of giving to the poor
• Leading his team to an unlikely playoff birth
• After several unlikely come-from-behind wins (One of which was over my beloved Chicago Bears)
• Garnering a ton of publicity
• Heading into said playoff game, wobbly passes and all,
• And leading them to another unlikely win, in overtime, no less
• With the scripture verse "John 3:16" written under his eyes
• Throwing for 316 yards in the game
• Which happen to result in an average of 31.6 yards per game
• The final quarter hour of which resulted in a television rating of 31.6
• Which became the highest-rated AFC wild-card game for CBS since 1988
• And "caused millions of fans" to search for the meaning of John 3:16

Coincidence? 


Not likely.  Look, who wins a football game doesn't matter one bit.  But people matter to God.  Jehovah will get his message out however he wants using whatever means pleases him.


That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That [there is] none besides Me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] no other;  I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these [things].'  Isaiah 45:6-7


So where does that leave us? 


Choice.  Choose this day whom you will serve.


"And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."  Joshua 24:15


If your car is god, serve it.  If your job is god, serve it.  If pleasure is god, serve it.  If wealth or status or drugs or booze or whatever idol of the land you serve is really god, then go ahead and serve it.


But if the LORD Jehovah, King of all the earth, Creator of heaven and earth, the Holy One of Israel, the Rock of our salvation, the lifter of our head, the redeemer of our souls, is God, then serve Him, and Him alone. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.  Isaiah 55:7
