Balanced masculinity

Dr. Roberto MirandaI do not believe that there has been a more masculine being in the history of the universe than Jesus. I'm sure he was a manly man, but also tender. He could take the children and bless them and play with them, and welcome them, and the children were drawn to Him; and he could also rebuke a proud and pretentious Pharisee , and take a scourge and vigorously protest against the violation of the House of the Lord. He could speak the truth with total clarity, and announce the righteous judgment of God, and also say to an adulterous woman, “Go and sin no more. I don't condemn you either ”.
What an admirable balance! That's a masculine man, a tempered personality. I have always admired the character of Jesus for that balance, that balance that I always see in Him. For me that is true masculinity. I see it in the Father too. I see his love and tenderness, and then also that strength, that justice, that clarity that is in Him. Christian men have to try, and do everything possible to exemplify a balanced masculinity.
