We too often only hear about a Fuzzy Bunny like Jesus, who loves everyone and speaks in soft whispers and looks like a Swedish Romance Novel Cover Model.  This picture of our SAVIOR is simply a less than honest, if not frighteningly inaccurate view of Jesus. He's called the Lion of Judah, for heaven's sake. His return described in Scripture tells of Him riding a white stallion with his robe dipped in blood! He is not sweet! Before you roll your eyes… He is the loving picture we often see, and were taught about as children but He is also a fierce and immeasurably Brave Warrior. Jesus is a whole lot more like the person of William Wallace in the movie Braveheart than some wimpish cover boy. He is all man!
 
Are you married? Have you ever watched Braveheart with you wife? If you have, did you notice the look on her face while she watched?  Trust me, her heart is pumping a little faster as she watches this warrior defend the memory of his wife and defend his people against tyranny.  And until we live like we too have a real life enemy, we cannot and will not understand this life and our place in His Story. The problem of evil is an ancient philosophical dilemma. We inherently want to fix blame on all sorts of “things.” We would rather blame something we can see or touch. We look everywhere and consider everything else before we consider the truth that has been laid before us in His word.
 

We have been told of and warned throughout Scripture that there is an evil in the universe which is spiritual in nature, ancient, very real and quite personal and when we begin to live with that kind of understanding, life will begin to come into focus like never before. When we begin to see that there is something, someone, a being who hates us and wishes us harm and wants to inflict harm to those we love, we then can understand the Warrior like mentality that requires us to step up, and step out in faith as the Spiritual Leaders and Men of God that we have been called to be. And you know what guys… Chicks Dig Godly Men!
