Tim Tebow, a Heisman Trophy winning American football quarterback, has started a new trend, the Pro footballer has started sporting eye black that features verses from the Bible.
In a game against Florida State last week, he was seen wearing “Heb 12 1-1″ . And again this week he has “John 16.33″ which references a passage from Gospel of John from the New Testament.
The passage reads as: I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
