God is with you and for you

“For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. “ - 1 Corinthians 15:22

As men, there’s so much pressure to measure up, perform, and be successful—successful by whatever standard the world has for men today.

These constantly changing ideas about who and how we’re supposed to be as men crush our souls and make us live in constant fear of not being enough.

But God didn’t leave us to figure this out on our own.

In the incarnation, God sent Jesus to us to not just tell us what it means to be fully human, but to show us.

Jesus understands what it feels like to be human, the struggles, the pain, the challenges, the temptations. And, in the midst of knowing those things first-hand, He helps us understand how to be the people God intended us to be.

Jesus is our Lord and Savior, but He is also our friend and brother: a role model we can look to find our center in a world full of pressure and confusion. 

This Christmas, may you find your true identity in Him…God with us and for us.
