Jesus didn’t come to lower the bar for manhood. He didn’t come to make gaining a higher level of authentic masculinity easier.
Jesus raised the bar on manhood. By raising the bar, He made us realize we need a savior. And He invites us to embrace our true identity.
To be a real man is to be more like Jesus. It means:
-
Loving sacrificially and putting the needs of others before our own
-
Leading with humility, integrity, and servant-heartedness
-
Pursuing righteousness and standing firm in our faith, even in the face of adversity
-
Seeking wisdom and guidance from God's Word and wise counsel
-
Embracing our identity as beloved sons of God, free from the fear of rejection or failure
Remember, you are not alone in this pursuit.
