True Manhood: The Call to Work and Lead

In today’s world, there’s a lot of confusion surrounding gender roles, especially when it comes to men and women’s roles in the home and church. Our culture often promotes the idea that men and women are the same, even pushing the notion that women might do some things better than men. However, this mindset doesn’t align with the truth found in the Bible. The Scriptures present distinct roles for men and women, particularly in two key areas: work and leadership.

In today’s world, discussions about gender roles are increasingly complex and divisive. The confusion surrounding gender identity and the roles of men and women in society have created challenges, particularly in the church and family dynamics. To navigate these concerns, it’s essential to return to the biblical foundation for understanding gender roles. In this post, we will explore how Scripture reveals the original design for men and women, how sin distorted that design, and how hope is restored through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In one of the most poignant moments recorded in Scripture, we find Jesus weeping over Jerusalem. Not tears of joy, but tears of profound sorrow. As He approaches the magnificent city during His triumphal entry, while crowds cheer and wave palm branches, the Savior's heart breaks for what He sees.

Throughout history, people have tried to claim the blessings of God while rejecting His authority. We love the idea of a kingdom filled with peace, joy, and abundance, but we resist the King who calls us to surrender. Jesus addressed this very issue in His parable of the wicked tenants (Luke 20:9-18). In this striking story, He exposed the religious leaders' rejection of God’s rule and issued a warning that still speaks to us today.
