Widespread confusion abounds today regarding what it means to be a man. There are a lot of boys walking around in men's bodies, unsure of themselves or what it means to be masculine. The world says men are losers. The world says "men, you can be a woman if you want". Role confusion runs rampant. The church fares little better with most of her men, putting unrealistic expectations on them. Keep your promises. Reach for great adventure. But God has something to say regarding manhood, and Jesus is His definitive speech.
No one would deny that in Jesus we have the perfect model man, the epitome of manhood. But is there a definitive model put forth in Scripture? One that we can point to and say, now there is a man. One that transcends cultures and generations, one that fits every man? Yes there is. It is found in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, the One who said "I am gentle and humble in heart", I have come to "seek and save the lost", the One who "came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many".
