Day 251 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: Proverbs 13,14 1 Cor. 16)
REAL MEN LOVE JESUS
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.” (1 Corinthians 16:13-14 ESV)
“Paul likely addressed his letter to congregational leaders who were men; they needed to display manly virtues...in love. The virtue of strength does not conflict with the virtue of love.” (The Lutheran Study Bible, Concordia Publishing House, page 2168)
According to former NFL player, Rosey Grier, real men do needlepoint. They also love Jesus. Here are some famous men who do love the Lord.

Denzel Washington
Tim Tebow
Steve Carrel
Usain Bolt

and many, many more.
Their stories can encourage other men to do the same. So can the story of your walk with Jesus.
God wants His people, men and women, to stand firm in the faith, in the love of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, help me to be a real Christian, trusting in Jesus for the forgiveness of my sins, and living for You every day. I do love You Jesus. Amen.
