At the university of Notre Dame there is a mural that has come to be called "Touchdown Jesus." The "Word of Life" mural is on the wall of Hesburgh Library. The mural is a ten story mosaic. The mural's theme incorporates saints and scholars throughout the ages. When the Fighting Irish score on the north end of the field they can look up and see the mosaic that depicts Jesus Christ, who wears a crown of thorns and has his arms raised heavenward, appearing to be signaling a touchdown; thus, the name "Touchdown Jesus." For the players, students, and faculty at Notre Dame the statue has come to symbolize victory on the playing field and in life itself.
Paul wrote Titus, who oversaw the Greek church on on the isle of Crete, a letter of encouragement. Part of Paul's letter reads, "to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age." The church on Crete had a particular problem with false teachers. In opposing these teachers Paul desired his followers to live upright and godly lives that would be victorious in Christ. In essence Paul wanted the parishioners, who have boldly served the Lord, to be able to look up and see "Touchdown Jesus."
