The Most Public Declaration of Love…
Through a good friend of mine, the legend Mark Davey, I came across this story that I thought was worth its own blog post alone! You could use this story as an illustration or backdrop for so many different talks, I used it for a talk I did on John 3:16 at our international cafe two weeks ago.
The story is a true story of an American man called Randy Fisher.
Now Randy had a girlfriend that he had been with for a long time and he really loved her and wanted to marry her, naturally! But he wanted to ask her to marry him in an amazing way. Now they both were huge American Football fans and so he decided that during the biggest game of the year, the Superbowl, he would propose to his girlfriend during the adverts on one of the big screens that are around the stadium. The problem was each screen to hire costs £2,500,000!
So what Randy did was he set up a website, telling people his story and hoping they would sponsor him so he could make the money he needed for his proposal. His website was called my super proposal and the heading for it was this:
Now doesn’t that story just provide the perfect backdrop for looking at what truly was the most public declaration of love in the history of mankind? I think so and think it is such a great way in to be able to illustrate how awesome God’s love in the cross of Jesus is!
