- Content: Tim Tebow Reminds Us What True Love Means
By Movieguide® Contributor
Tim Tebow knows that love requires sacrifice.
In a video posted to Instagram, the former football star shared how Jesus gives us the perfect example of love through His sacrifice.
He began, “True love many times does take true sacrifice. And when it gets hard and when it hurts, will we do it anyways? I’m so grateful that King Jesus when He came to this earth, He didn’t stop when it started to get hard, but He fulfilled His mission in going to the cross with real passion and sacrificing for us so that we can experience real, eternal freedom.”
Tebow then referenced Hebrews 12:2: “As the author and perfector of our faith who, for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despised the shame, finished the race and then sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
“Would we run the race? Would we finish? Would we endure? And would we love in choosing the best interests of other people and acting on their behalf, even when it’s difficult, even when it’s hard? Because we not only say that we love them, we not only say that we will sacrifice for them, but let’s actually choose it by having real love, by having real passion and by real sacrifice,” he said.
Tebow knows a lot about showing love to others. He started the Tim Tebow Foundation, and through it, he’s on a mission “to bring Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.”
“Our heart at @timtebowfoundation is to fight for the Most Vulnerable People, the MVP— those who have been viewed as less than, insignificant or cursed, who have been thrown away, abandoned, trafficked or orphaned, or are in need of life-changing medical intervention,” he wrote earlier this year. “Just as every life is valuable to God, every life is valuable to us at TTF.”
Recently, his foundation created a campus in Guatemala to help those in need.
The new campus will allow the organization to serve more “MVPs” (Most Vulnerable People) in the area.
“The Tebow Down Guatemala campus will be located in the heart of Guatemala City and equipped with a school, resource center for parents, therapy, vocational training, thrift store and coffee shop for sustainable revenue, vocational opportunities, and more,” the website shares, adding, “There is nothing like this” in Guatemala.READ MORE: TIM TEBOW BREAKS GROUND ON GUATEMALA ‘TEBOW DOWN’ CAMPUS: ‘SERVE MORE FAMILIES’
