Final Thought on Tebow

I know there has been a great deal made about Tim Tebow. Of course I don't know him and probably won't (this side of Heaven anyway). But I'm very curious about him and the attention that surrounds him. I'll start by saying that I only know what I've read and what I've heard. I've listened to his press conferences and have heard the stories of how his Gator teammates did their best to protect him. To me, in this day and age, that's pretty admirable. How many 19-21 year old guys do you know who would do such a thing as worry about another guy's honor?

There are two sides to this coin. On one side is the football ability side and the other is his faith. Can't split the two because there's only one coin. You can't have one without the other. So, let's take a look at the football side. Well, he runs a great 40 yard dash and can throw a football 50 plus yards in the air. He's smart enough to understand the complex defenses he faces and he's tall enough to see over the D-Lineman in front of him. He also has the ability to evade the rush and has that 6th sense about him to know when the pocket is collapsing. Pretty good skills if you ask me. But what I want to know is can he lead and is he a winner? I think we would all agree that those are two characteristics that Tebow possesses.

How about the faith side of the coin? Look, the guy loves Jesus, pure and simple. He doesn't hide what he believes and he prays during a football game off to the side alone. He doesn't waive at the cameraman to film him, he just quietly kneels down and bows his head. Only in today's world would that seem weird or stupid. Of course I don't personally have any problem with what he does whatsoever. It's not as if the guy gives a press conference and then asks the media covering him to repent and turn to Jesus Christ. THAT WOULD TRULY BE NEWS WORTHY!!!!

I don't need to worry about his career and I don't think he worries about it either. I think Tebow has completely offered himself to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I believe Tebow is 100% ok with any other line of work out there as long as it's what Jesus wants him to do. We don't need less star athletes like him to look up to and admire, we need more. Much more!!!!

Please turn to Jesus if you haven't done so. You'll be so happy you did!!!!!
