November 12, 2026 - When we look at Jesus Christ, what do we see? In Jesus we see the marks of manhood. It has always been hard for Christians to hold on to the belief in the true manhood of Jesus. Yet, the words of Pilate, “Behold the Man!” can help us consider afresh the manhood of the Son of God.
We also see in Jesus Physical Strength. Without a strong body, he could not have carried on his rugged ministry, nor could he have been calm through the scourging and mistreatment of his enemies.
We also see in Jesus great Mental Power. His ability to reduce the numerous details of the Jewish law to fundamental truths clearly reveals His intellectual ability.
Then we also acknowledge in Jesus Moral Victory. Jesus was tempted in all points as we are tempted and yet He was without sin.
Jesus was also a man who had Social Grace. We see him mixing with all levels of society, attending dinners and wedding feasts among the people.
But, most importantly, even with all of this, Jesus found time for prayer. He found time to be alone with God and talk to God. No matter how busy our lives, no matter how involved our schedule, we also need to find time for God. Time to speak to God in prayer and the time to meet God at His house for worship.
It’s something to think about... tbp
