Noble Notes Challenge ~ May 25, 2010

Christ: a Compelling Model for Manhood

Men, this week we’re talking about seeing Jesus Christ as a compelling model for manhood. Yesterday, I shared a quote from a recent editorial that said… a long term strategy entails a wide range of issues as complex as reorienting young men’s codes of honor and integrity. I have to tell you that I seized on this statement because it really is the core issue that our society faces.

I don’t believe there is a single ill that society faces, that would not drastically improve if men, especially young men, had a clear picture of how they should live and act as men. Clearly, there is no shortage of manhood images available in our culture, there just aren’t many that are worth following. That brings me to the real point of this week’s Noble Notes devotions. My goal is to be able to say as Paul did in First Corinthians eleven one, “Follow me as I follow the example of Christ.” I can tell you that I don’t take that lightly. I know myself and my flesh. I cannot and do not live a sinless life. But, I see Christ as a worthy example and I want to know Him more.

My desire, like Paul, is to live in such a way that others would see Christ in me and be drawn, not to me, but to Him. Men, would you prayerfully join me in this desire? That’s your challenge for today.
