Be the Man They Need: Manhood According to the Life of Christਨਮੂਨਾ

Devotional
Every man has a warrior within him, a deep desire to fight for what matters. Whether it’s for our families, our faith, or our values, we’re built to battle. From childhood games to real-life struggles, every man is wired for battle, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual.
As a child, I played on a baseball team called the Warriors, though our “battlefield” was more about snow cones than glory. Yet, even in those early games, there was something in me that understood the idea of fighting for something, winning, defending, and pushing myself to the limit.
But as I grew older, I realized that real battles were not fought on a field; they were fought in the heart and mind. The true war we face is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Sin, shame, addiction, fear, pride, and spiritual blindness are the enemies we must face.
We need a warrior who can fight the battles we can’t win alone, and that’s where Jesus comes in. Jesus, our ultimate Warrior, didn’t just teach or heal; He came to fight for us. He fought against Satan’s temptations, the powers of darkness, and the forces of evil that bind us. And at the cross, He won the ultimate victory by defeating sin, death, and hell once and for all.
Jesus showed us that true victory isn’t won by domination but by selfless sacrifice. He fought not for Himself, but for us. As followers of Christ, we are called to fight as He did, bold, courageous, sacrificial, and victorious, knowing the battle is already won.
Challenge
This week, step into the battle in front of you. Whether it’s fighting for your faith, family, or relationships, be the warrior who stands firm and fights for what’s right.
Prayer
Jesus, my Warrior, thank You for fighting the battle I couldn’t win. You conquered sin and death for me. Help me to fight in Your strength, standing firm in faith, protecting those I love, and living in the victory You’ve already won. Amen.
The Man We Needed
Jesus, our Warrior, fought the battle on our behalf, conquering sin and death through sacrifice. Now, by God’s grace, it’s your turn.
Be the man they need.
