Prayer
Section III, overview: The glory of Jesus Christ, in an applicable sense, is His character: it is who He is. The beholding of and pursuit of God’s glory in the face of Jesus Christ ought to be the Christian man’s chief enjoyment and focus. It is through this vital act that we are conformed and transformed into His glorious image; through this overriding passion our lives are transformed and the image of Jesus which we reflect becomes clearer. Our lives are given purpose, strength, peace, hope, love, and all other good things when we fixedly place our gaze on our King, Shepherd, Groom, Mediator, and Savior – Jesus Christ. Jesus’ life is the ultimate blueprint for any man’s life. His glorious character far outshines every single person ever to live, and so we will look at His character, His glory, and find therein great and vital instruction for our lives, as well as magnificent encouragement.
As we have seen in Section II, prayer is a powerful weapon that we possess. In many ways, prayer is central to a thriving, Christian life. Prayer should hold a supreme part in each Christian man’s life. A true man will pray continuously and fervently, according to the pattern displayed by Jesus. Prayer is vital for our survival, and vital to our becoming and acting like Jesus, like true men. Therefore, we must pray without ceasing, filled with thanksgiving, in all things, that we might discern God’s will and receive His power.
