Jesus’s life embodied true masculinity. How could it not? No doubt, we could produce a long list of characteristics that Jesus embodied that made him a real man, but two noteworthy traits are his selflessness and sacrifice.

We also learn from Jesus that true manhood isn’t simply about keeping our noses clean and our own ducks in a row.

True manhood means getting beyond ourselves to love our neighbours — and our neighbour is anyone we meet that is in need.

Christian men, under the authority of Jesus, freely give their time, resources, attention, energy, and emotional support to those that need it without regard to what they can give in return.
