Colossians 3:15, "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."
Last night, Tim Tebow posted this verse on Facebook, Twitter, and his wristband before going into the game against the NY Jets. While he started by posted Philippians 4:13 for many football seasons, he changed it up before his last national championship game as a Florida Gator, and John 3:16 was googled a record-breaking number of times. Since becoming a Denver Bronco, he has worn (or posted) a different verse for every game, and game after game, readers flock to the internet to type in the verse and read it. Has there been another athlete, another celebrity, any other Christian who has had this big of an impact in spreading the Gospel message? Maybe Billy Graham. Maybe Mother Teresa.
Sure, he's not the best quarterback. Sure, he has an unorthodox throwing style. Sure, he has happy feet and refuses to stay in the pocket. But, he is a leader. He calls for his teammates to jump on board, and they flock to him. He wills them to work harder and win.
So while it may seem a bit cliche to be thankful for Tim Tebow, I am thankful for the example he lives and the Gospel he spreads through his everyday life.
