A man must live with purpose...

There has been no greater miracle than the one that happened in the beginning.

Time, space, matter — all of it set into motion. The world didn’t ask to exist. You didn’t ask to be born. And yet, here you are — breathing, thinking, making choices.

You’re more than atoms in a body. You have a will. A conscience. You can choose to eat what’s good for you or what isn’t. You can choose to speak life or speak death. You can build, or you can destroy. And every choice carries a consequence — not just for you, but for the people around you.

That’s the weight of being human. That’s manhood.

And here’s the truth — somewhere along the way, all of us have chosen wrong. We’ve lied. We’ve hurt people. We’ve chased things that left us emptier than when we started. That’s what the Bible calls sin. It’s not just breaking rules. It’s breaking relationship — with God, with others, even with ourselves.

And because God is holy, that sin separates us from Him. But here’s where the story flips.

God didn’t leave us in the mess.

He came to us — not as a judge from afar, but as a man who walked the dirt like we do. Jesus. He lived without sin. Showed us how to love. And then died in our place — not because He had to, but because He chose to.

Three days later, He rose from the grave — defeating sin, shame, and death. That’s the Gospel. The good news.

And it’s not just history. It’s personal.

Jesus offers forgiveness, purpose, and real life — not just after death, but here and now. A new start. A clean slate. A way forward.

He doesn’t promise the easy route. But He does promise to walk with you through it. And every man needs that — a Shepherd, a Savior, a King who doesn’t just give commands, but gives His life.

You were made for more. You were made for Him.
