Numberplate evangelism?

 
Tim Thornborough | 2 May 2013

Spotted this car on my way into work this morning, and momentarily wondered if it were Daniel Craig or Matt Damon at the wheel. But it did get me thinking.

Why do people buy personalised number plates? For some it's an opportunity to make others smile. Others just spell out random funny words: LA54GNE, W4LLY or B1NGO. Others have a marketing message - G0 0GLE. There has even been one spotted with altogether darker intent: J1 HAD. But for most, it is surely all about an ego boost. They are known as "Vanity plates" for a reason.

But those who have experienced the grace of God in Christ should never boast about themselves:

But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 6 v 14

So it got me thinking - what number plate would I put on my car that either admitted my own weakness (WAL 1Y might work), or else said something meaningful about God and the Gospel?

Your suggestions below please...
