The 13toMan seminar uses the 4 principles of manhood as stated in Robert Lewis' book Raising A Modern Day Knight. I strongly recommend this book to any father of a son. The third part of our definition of a man is - a real man leads courageously.
Looking back again at Adam - he was created to be a leader but blew it pretty early. He failed to lead and protect his family when it was needed the most.
Jesus was just the opposite. He demonstrated leadership in the wilderness while being tempted. He demonstrated leadership by serving His selfish bickering disciples. Then to top things off He demonstrated leadership by laying down His life for His creation.
Some equate leadership with telling others what to do. Others obtain leadership and then power by deceit.
Jesus gives us a picture of a hungry man turning down the cheap trick challenge of a tempter and the shortcut that could have saved Him from suffering on the cross.
Men, how can we teach our sons to be leaders?
