This week, we’re continuing our series about Jesus. But we’re talking about Jesus as you’ve never heard it before. Not all the wispy religious platitudes you may have heard. 

We’re talking about Jesus, the man. Specifically, we want you to see Jesus as the man most worthy of following.

Today we’re discussing how Jesus had a man’s body. And because he was a man, we’re talking about the fact that Jesus had a penis. 

We’re talking about this, because it’s an aspect of Jesus that never gets talked about. Because Jesus was a man, he had all the parts that a man does, and all the impulses that go with it. The Bible is clear (Hebrews 4:15) that he was tempted in every way we are.

But we know that Jesus was sinless. And so we tend to separate Jesus from anything sexual. But to do so is to make Jesus into something less than a man. We need to remember that his body didn’t work any differently than ours did.

Jesus showed us what it looks like to not use our sexuality for sin. Through his interactions with the women caught in adultery (John 8) and the prostitute at the party (Luke 7), Jesus shows dignity and respect to vulnerable women. He never needs to get anything from them. He never takes advantage of them. He is free to love them and be loved by them in return, without ever having to use them.

If you want to be a man who uses his sexuality with integrity, look to Jesus. He’ll show you the way to live free of the snares of temptation and be worthy of honor.
