All too often Jesus is presented as a weakling, a tender man without strength, or as Jesus our lover. These dishonor the historic Jesus who was extremely masculine, who fought against the Pharisees, drove out the money changers from the temple using a whip, overturning their tables. This Jesus is far too violent for the effeminate Christianity of today. Thus, he had to be toned down, to become someone who would not give offense to anyone. And then churches wonder why young men are leaving en masse. When our European ancestors converted to the Faith of Christ it was because they recognized his manly virtures in eschewing death, and boldly presently his message of the Kingdom, the Gospel, without fear or favor. This is the Christ that Fr. Haeuser, a biblical scholar and pastor, brings back to life before us. He speaks of those mysterious words of Christ about leaving house and family, forsaking all, and shows the proper context for understanding Christ's mission as the Warrior Son of God. Christianity is not a religion of death and sin, it is a manly faith which urges us onward to establish the rule and reign of Christ the King in order to fulfill our divine destiny
