Men are different creatures.  Emotions is not as important to us as is strength, power, and authority.  These three items catch a true man’s attention and respect.  Please note, for a man respect is a sign of love.  Men will respect other men that have power, strength, and authority.

 

Jesus demonstrated all three in perfect union, in perfect fashion.  True power, strength, and authority does not need a stage, lights, fancy clothes, or a dual exhaust chariot.  True power is always under control, which takes great strength.  Great strength is always under the authority of great control.  The Roman Centurion understood these three items.  He as a Gentile, asked Jesus only to say the word and his servant would be healed.  No theatrics.  No fancy entrance.  True power needs none of theses.  The Centurion understood.  Thus a simple powerful request. A simple powerful answer from Jesus.   This event is found in Matthew 8.  Read it.

 

The strongest men that I have met, were men that totally followed Christ.  They had to endure ridicule for their beliefs.  They performed miracles behind the scenes, wanting no attention drawn to themselves.  Enduring personal hardships, that grew others.  No theatrics.  No flashing lights.  No $27,000 Timex.  Just pure, raw, Holy Spirit power.  Jesus never had a lot.  If I remember correctly, he had only what he wore.  Yet, the simplicity of his life, demonstrated the power he possessed.  The power all Christians should possess.  The power all men should strive to have in their lives.

 

Just a thought.  Think about it.
