Tebow's Gift


Think about the last time you were given a gift worth something.  A gift that meant everything to you.  Something you knew took thought, time and effort.  Think about it.....it may have been when you were a kid or something more recent.  What did you do with that gift?  Did you just put it away in your room and never show it to anyone or tell anyone about it?  Did you forget about it or forget to thank the person from whom it was given?  Absolutely NOT!  You told everyone you knew!  You showed it off.  You thanked the person over and over.  It was on public display.  You were proud of it.  You may have even told people the way you came about getting this gift.  You were definitely not ashamed of it.

Like Tim Tebow, if you are in Christ, you have been given a gift.  "We like all sheep have gone astray - we have turned - everyone - to his own way..." (Isaiah 53:6)  "He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.  By His wounds you have been healed."  (1 Peter 2:24)  "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

What if all believers (at least the ones that really are) lived as Tim Tebow - unto the Lord - in EVERYTHING they do?

Why is it so amazing and the media (even the Church) so blown away at the life of Tim Tebow?  He is just living as Jesus says to.......we should all magnify the Lord - and be humble - and work hard - and forgive - and encourage - and smile - and live righteously - ALL THE TIME!

Tim Tebow has been given the same Gift we have.  We don't need a football field and ESPN to give us a reason to proclaim Jesus!  :)  I have a feeling Tebow would AMEN this too!!
