Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Boys are taught, as they grow up certain traits or characteristic. Don’t cry, don’t let a bully pick on you, fight back if someone take advantage of you, you’ve got to look out for your on best interest, no one else will. Once a young man leaves the nest, there are still influences from their peer groups, that tend to reinforce the male ego. Society has certain criteria for men, expectations of how a man should act. Some good, most bad. The concept of the meek inheriting the earth go against the grain of tradition thought. As a Christian, I have had to unlearn some of those traits.
I think back in my own life. Men that left a lasting impression on me, were men that were strong, without any outward appearance of strength. My grandfather, a postal worker was the most mild mannered man I knew, but when he spoke, wisdom and strength came out. There is a man in my church, who will remain nameless, that speaks with wisdom and strength. I listen to him when he is around, because to me, his manner reflects strength.
To me Jesus was a mans man. I have learned much about strength from reading His Word. Jesus had strength in meekness.

Jesus was a mans man by his actions. Not only did he talk a good talk, Jesus’ actions proved what kind of man he really was. I pray that my actions will prove the same about me.
God Bless You Steve
