Denver Broncos’ Tim Tebow Wins With 316 Yards at 31.6 Yards Per Completion

01/09/2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

Divine intervention? Maybe not. Coincidence?  Could be.  But after this game I still can’t help but to shout out a heartfelt “Amen” …

Update:  According to John Ourand of Sports Business Journal, Tebow’s final quarter-hour overnight rating which included the winning score (8:00-8:15) was, yes, a 31.6.  That’s three “3:16’s”. Divine intervention?  Could be. Coincidence?  Maybe not …

Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

“(NewsCore) – Tim Tebowed and Denver rose as one.

The Broncos quarterback’s 80-yard touchdown pass to receiver Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime against Pittsburgh both clinched Sunday’s game and wrote another improbable chapter in Tebow’s book of clutch plays to win high-pressure games.

His performance also borrowed a little magic from another famous book.

The devout Christian’s stat line in Sunday’s game mirrors the numbering of the Biblical passage that Tebow at times had painted on to his black eye paint during his career at the University of Florida — John 3:16.

The passage reads, according to the New American Standard Bible, ‘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.‘

Officially, Tebow passed for 316 yards against the Steelers, completing 10 of 21 pass attempts — meaning he passed for 31.6 yards per completion.

After his final pass was caught and brilliantly taken downfield by Thomas, Tebow shrugged off three bad weeks — when he threw for just one touchdown and four interceptions — and took a knee and prayed in his classic style.

‘First and foremost, I just want to thank my savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ,’ Tebow said at the postgame press conference. ‘I am so thankful for the platform God has given me.'” Read more.

    I knew my Steelers were going to have a tough time going against God’s team; after all, they play in “Mile High Stadium”–that’s the NFL team that’s closest to Heaven.

    The other team that will be hard to beat is “the Saints”…after, they are HOLY. Don’t know what the outcome will be if they have to play each other.

    lol … Before the game they’ll debate dispensational and non-dispensational doctrines. During the first half they’ll debate whether or not they’re in the tribulation. In the fourth quarter both teams will argue over whether or not the First Resurrection happens in phases …

    “Abortion — Tebow story”

    ——————————————————————————–

    In a recent email, I read about a woman named Pam, who knows the pain of
    considering abortion. More than 24 years ago, she and her husband Bob were
    serving as missionaries to the Philippines and praying for a fifth child.
    Pam contracted amoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by
    a parasite found in contaminated food or drink. She went into a coma and
    was treated with strong antibiotics before they discovered she was
    pregnant.

    Doctors urged her to abort the baby for her own safety and told her that
    the medicines had caused irreversible damage to her baby. She refused the
    abortion and cited her Christian faith as the reason for her hope that her
    son would be born without the devastating disabilities physicians
    predicted. Pam said the doctors didn’t think of it as a life, they thought
    of it as a mass of fetal tissue.

    While pregnant, Pam nearly lost their baby four times but refused to
    consider abortion. She recalled making a pledge to God with her husband:
    If you will give us a son, we’ll name him Timothy and we’ll make him a
    preacher.

    Pam ultimately spent the last two months of her pregnancy in bed and
    eventually gave birth to a healthy baby boy August 14, 1987. Pam’s
    youngest son is indeed a preacher. He preaches in prisons, makes hospital
    visits, and serves with his father’s ministry in the Philippines. He also
    plays football. Pam’s son is Tim Tebow.

    The University of Florida’s star quarterback became the first sophomore in
    history to win college football’s highest award, the Heisman Trophy. His
    current role as quarterback of the Denver Broncos has provided an
    incredible platform for Christian witness. As a result, he is being called
    The Mile-High Messiah.

    Tim’s notoriety and the family’s inspiring story have given Pam numerous
    opportunities to speak on behalf of women’s centers across the country.
    Pam Tebow believes that every little baby you save matters. I pray her
    tribe will increase!

    May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always!

    May God bless his efforts!!!!

    Just a twist Tebow also threw it from the 16 yard line to THOMAS? Doubting Thomas was one of the disciples who just couldnt believe unless he saw it. Was the recievers name Thomas? Looks like it. Dont believe God chooses sides but if someone is acknowledging Him like Tebow maybe He did, sure looks that way for me and I’m a Patriots fan.

    1 things for sure God’s no wimp. He suffered the Cross out of Love for us and He didn’t have to. Scripture says ‘No man takes my life’ but rather He lays it down to rise up in 3 days which history shows He did as well as many many witnesses healings and occurances.

    I heard this is the eye black he was using against the Steelers in the playoff game…

    Google “Tim Tebow Eye Black” and look for the ones with “John” and “3:16″!

    Ah, yes, this one:

    Tim Tebow - John 3:16

    I think the NFL doesn’t let him do that anymore if I’m not mistaken, but it’s definitely a popular pic now.

    Inspired by Tim Tebow, British musician John Parr has decided to re-record his 1985 song “St. Elmo’s Fire” in honor of the Denver Broncos quarterback. Parr begins by singing, “Growing up, gotta keep your eye on the ball”. This is something that Tebow has done exceptionally well, not only in terms of football, but where it truly matters: Faith …
