Jesus is the Essence of manhood

I was trying to write for the man without Jesus in his heart, but it is impossible to talk about manhood without talking about Jesus and the Father heart of God. The principles and values from which I am living my life as a man, is through Jesus and Biblical truth. I can't lead another man through manhood without showing him Jesus my Lord and Savior. To do so would be a disservice to the one I'm leading and to Jesus who leads me. I can't take the credit for the life I am living as a man. I need to be able to boast about how God has changed me, healed me and made me into a new man; a godly man after his own heart.

The truth is, we can't begin to genuinely walk through the journey of manhood without embracing God and all he has done for us. Once you have accepted the beloved son of God then you can start the journey of understanding and knowing what a man is and who the man you are suppose to be.

Only once you embrace the need of a savior and realize that Jesus is the way and truth to manhood, then you can grab hold of authentic manhood. So I will not water down my message of manhood for the fear of running people away. I am convinced that this will be for the person who is looking for Jesus, and whom Jesus is calling.
            

  My approach is to show you how Jesus is the essence of Manhood by sharing how he has transformed me into the man I am today and continues to transform me. I will share with you the truths he has shown me each day I walk this earth as a man.

The reason why we branch out into manhood away from other men guiding us, is so we can find Jesus who is the essence of manhood. We need to learn how to be guided by him and the only way is to actually be guided by him. No crutches, no running to the shoulders of an earthly man. Only the arms of Jesus do you run to daily. Nothing anyone says to you will resonate with you at this point because only the words and voice of Jesus can penetrate to the core of your manhood. Only Jesus can activate who you are and where you are going. 

To know the Father you have to rely on him as a son. To know the son you have to look up to him and follow him as a younger brother. To know the Groom you have to submit and love like a bride. To know the Holy Spirit as Counselor and reveal-er of truth, you have to receive like someone willing to be counseled and a seeker of truth. In order to know- you have to be what it takes to receive the knowledge. You have to act in order to receive the experience.
