John 3:16

Focus on the Family ran this commercial Saturday night during the NFL playoff game between the Patriots and the Broncos.



How great is that?

Now, obviously the timing of the airing of the commercial was greatly influence because of Tim Tebow playing in this game.  The week before he heroically lead his team to a victory against the Pittsburg Steelers to advance to the second round of playoffs.  In the game he passed for 316 yards and averaged 31.6 yards per completion.  He first wore John 3:16 on his eye black in the National Championship game during his college days.  All the John 3:16 buzz must have prompted Focus on the Family to air the commercial when it did.

All of you know I am a Timmy fan, but at this point it is hard not to be.  He has taken a stand for his faith, and by doing so allowed for so many conversations and thoughts about Christianity.  By staying steadfast in his beliefs, he has allowed both believers and nonbelievers to take a second look at the message of Christ.  We can all learn from Timmy, and I don't mean how to be a great athlete, but how to share our faith and love others.  Christ wants us all to be bold like this, show people the love of Christ by loving them and telling them the amazing message of Christ's love for us.

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