JESUS AND HIS POSTERITY, Pages 79-92 of Chapter 8 of Jesus was Married by Ogden Kraut

The true Messiah spoken of by all the ancient prophets was the personification and representation of all that is true and noble. One of man’s most honorable estates is that of marriage and his family. The very thought of singleness and barrenness is generally repulsive and certainly not according to God’s law which commands mankind to “be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.” (Gen. 1:28)

One of the most popular misconceptions about Jesus was His manliness. The common Christian has been taught about a Jesus with a femininity which is embarrassing if not revolting to anyone who understands His true character. The real Messiah labored and toiled with a genuine manly dignity. He walked many miles; He climbed and preached upon the mountainsides; He ate the most common food—and that among the poorest publicans and the worst of sinners. He wielded a whip across the backs of temple thieves and overturned their tables. Then with a dignity, majesty, and inner self-control that demanded the utmost strength, He silently and patiently withstood the beatings, the spitting and the sordid insults of a depraved humanity. Finally, He carried a burdensome cross through sweat and blood on the road to Calvary and suffered a tortuous death between two thieves.

 The Christ we adore and revere was a real man—strong in character, body and mind. He was a man among men, a King of kings, and a Lord of lords. Yet He understood by experience every feeling, every weakness and strength, of each mortal man. He lived like a man, He understood and spoke as a man, but He possessed the dignity and wisdom of a God. This was the real Jesus—the true Messiah—the perfect example!
