You ever feel like there’s too much Tim Tebow news? Neither do I. Here’s a roundup of some of the most interesting Timbits from the aftermath of the Denver Broncos 29-23 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• The fact that Tebow had 316 yards passing and averaged 31.6 yards per pass in the game didn’t escape notice on Sunday night. Tebow wore “John 3:16″ on his eye black in the 2009 BCS Championship game and has since become identified with the famous Bible message. The coincidental stats caused millions of fans to perform Google searches on the Bible passage in the past 24 hours. Here’s one more unbelievable stat: John Ourand of Sports Business Journal reports that the final quarter-hour television rating for the Broncos-Steelers game was, you guessed it, 31.6.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. – John 3:16
Coincidence? I think NOT… more like the power of the Lord.
“Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven.” – Matthew 10:32

“For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels” – Luke 9:26

When Tebow’s total yards passing translates into millions of searches for John 3:16, it’s hard not to think Jesus is either rooting for or working through him.
Well said, Mike!
It’s difficult to believe that God would have much to do with a professional football game — a game that should, more properly, be played by boys — especially when played on the Sabbath, but it’s almost impossible to dismiss so many 3/16 (3:16?) figures as mere coincidence.
Hmm…
Do ya think! God is trying to get HIS Message across. Coincidence I don’t think so. Some one should run the number for what the chances are. Like 316 to 1 LOL GO Tebow!
