Tim Tebow Meets His Maker

Tim Tebow has "met his maker!" Have you? We enter the Kingdom of God by birth, not by death. To know God, is to have eternal life.  We should be "meeting" our maker everyday and every moment. 

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:3)

The place Jesus went to was the cross. Jesus went to the cross and became the once and for all sacrifice to restore communion between God and man. 

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (John 17:3)

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. (1 John 4:9)

There were a lot of remarks made before the Steelers - Broncos game in which it was said "Tim Tebow would meet his maker" when he faced the Steelers. The fact is, if we do not meet our maker, Jesus Christ, in this life, we will have no eternal life with Him when our physical bodies die. As far as the game, great job to Tim Tebow and the whole Broncos team. Great job to Demaryius Thomas on making that reception on the first play of overtime and stiff arming his way to a Broncos touchdown.

Where was God in all this? God was rooting for God. God is out looking for God, not football teams. Where his people are yielding themselves to be used by him, he is seen and manifested. His people are throughout this earth--on football teams even--and God is looking for His life to be lived through them.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14 "sons" is not gender specific by the way)

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:18-19)

When Joshua met his maker, in the form of the Captain of the Lord, he found out that God was on God's side. He was hoping the Captain would say he was on Joshua's side.

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? AND HE SAID, NAY; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? (Joshua 5:13-14)
