Tim Tebow often references bible passages on his eye blacks during games. This week he decided to use the bible verse John 16:33. The verse basically indicates that he will have peace through his hard times. It is Jesus Christ speaking to his disciples. He is trying to give his disciples hope when he knows they are about to go through a rough time. Everyone wanted to know the context of the situation in order to better understand what Tim was trying to say. It seemed to be appropriate for the game.
Some people are really mad about his eye black. They are mad that he is putting bible references in it. They believe that he needs to stop preaching his religion and keep it to himself. They feel like he needs to be just playing the game while keeping religion out of it. Some people are really glad that there is someone who is going far and also believes in religion.
I hope that people will keep from getting too upset. It does no good to be upset by the things that people do like this. Hopefully he can continue to do what he pleases without getting too much ridicule.
