Tim Tebow and his Testimony to the World



Whether you are a Florida fan or a fan of another college team, you have to admire the faith of Tim Tebow. Knowing that the whole world was watching, he chose to use his "global stage" to testify to the world about Jesus Christ by writing John 3:16 on his eye black.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
So, what affect did this have on the world? Take a look at the link below.

Google constantly tracks popular search topics. In today's world Google is often the first source of information when something comes up. Google Trends basically ranks the latest top search topics and gives a pretty accurate reading of what people are interested in at any given time.

On 1/8/2009, the day of the National Championship where Tim Tebow proudly wore John 3:16 on his eye black, the top search on the Internet was John 3 16. It is pretty amazing that one 21 year old college football star was able to reach millions of people who were curious enough to go to a computer to search it out. I hope the interest that he sparked in so many people will result in some life changing decisions to follow our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Side note: Look at the search topics below John 3 16. On January 8th, John 3 16 was a more popular search than an earthquake, Oprah, and Obama. I just thought that was interesting to know.
