Tebow

     Okay so anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge sports fan, a huge broncos fan, and have been a Tim Tebow fan since he played in the high school all american game and committed to Florida. (him being left handed helps explain why I am a fan) So I would should take this opportunity to talk about the game yesterday in my blog, but I won't. Instead I'll talk about something i heard after the game.
     I found it really refreshing (and not at all surprising)  to listen to what Tebow had to say at the post game press conference. When talking about the ot winning touchdown pass, Tebow was as always, humble. He talked about the great stiff arm the receiver used, the selling of the play fake by the running back, the blocking by the offensive line, and the great play call by the coaching staff. He said nothing about the strike he threw hitting the receiver in perfect stride. He could of praised himself for that throw, he didn't. He praised everyone else involved. So should we be surprised that the team wants to play hard for him?  Maybe the better question is how could they not play hard for him?
     I think we could all take a lesson in his humility when we look at our faith. It is not about us. We should never make it about us. It IS about helping others to follow Christ. It is about making disciples, not about patting ourselves on the back. If you want a sport analogy-here it is. We are part of a team. In order to be successful as the body of Christ we will do much better by working together as a team. We are one body(one team). It is not about me or you, it is about everyone. It is about helping others and everyone follow Him the best way we know how, as a team.  Let's all be part of a team.

I'll leave you with these words from The Playbook, as written by Paul.
 "For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ."
     1 Corinthians 12:12
