Tim Tebow – One Wiccans Opinion

This is just one man’s opinion.

          Most of us have heard of Tim Tebow. He is a football player that makes public displays to glorify Jesus.

I want to start out by saying that I really don’t like where this is heading. There are people that are building him up to be way more than he is. When his passing record hit 316 yards it was like people were starting to think that he was the second coming of Jesus Christ.
         

The problem with that, at least in my opinion, is that Tim is just a man. He isn’t trying to make you believe that he is the second coming. He isn’t trying to bring glory upon himself. He isn’t using God’s name like the politicians do. He isn’t asking you to send him money to pray for you like some of the big television evangelists.

          Tim is doing one thing. He is praising his God. I don’t see anything deceptive in his actions. He is genuine and that is commendable.

          If we build him up as super human we are setting him up to take a fall. He is just a man. He will make mistakes and he will make bad choices and that’s ok. If we build him up as more than he is then we take away from his simple act of faith. His future mistakes will become something more than they are, just human mistakes, and that would be unfortunate.
         
Do you think that he would want to be thought of as someone special in a religious aspect or do you think that his intent is to just be a great football player while he is showing his love to his God?

          I don’t believe that Tim would be happy with the focus that is being put on his stats as some kind of sign from God.

          In my opinion I Think that he would want you to take away the message that Jesus is great and through him we can do all things.

          I’m not a football fan or a Christian but I like Tim Tebow. I appreciate his honest faith in his God and I respect his dedication.

          That being said I still enjoy a good joke about him and Jimmy Fallon’s little skit “Tebowie” was hilarious, well done Jimmy.

          Keep the faith Tim, you’re doing just fine.
