Manifesting the Glory of God

What does it mean for a man to have the glory of God in him? Robert McCurley addresses this question in his video by pointing to Jesus Christ as the perfect man who exhibited the glory of God in both His service to God and to other people. By studying Jesus’ life and ministry, we can see how biblical manhood involves using one’s strength and authority for the benefit of others, rather than for self-serving purposes. Jesus’ ministry shows us how men ought to serve God and others. McCurley points to Jesus’ holy zeal for his Father’s house, which led him to cleanse the temple and confront false teachers. He also notes Jesus’ meekness, which is actually a strength that has been harnessed. Jesus drew sinners to himself by offering grace and compassion, and He used his authority to serve and uplift others. Biblical manhood, according to McCurley, involves using one’s strength and authority in a similar way. In contrast to biblical manhood, the world often distorts and perverts the concept of manhood. Men may either retreat from responsibility and diligence, or they may use their power for self-serving purposes rather than for the glory of God and the benefit of others. By studying Jesus’ example, we can gain a clearer understanding of what it means to have the glory of God in us as men and how we can use our strength and authority for the service of God and others. 1 Corinthians 10:31 "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
