Come, see a man.
—John 4:29

That true manhood was Christ’s is evidenced by the fact that the woman of Sychar felt she had met One who was out to enrich her character and not damage it. Men had abused her, but the Man, who told her all things about her guilty past, sought her highest welfare.

And truly, Jesus was a Man approved of God. Found in fashion as a Man, He ever remained the best of men. Sympathy of heart and strength of character must have been written upon His countenance. He was no “sissy,” to use a modern vulgarism. Impressed with His courage, a brave soldier like the centurion confessed, “Truly this man was the Son of God” (Mark 15:39).
