Just a Man

March 21, 2026

I believe all men can relate to “being 10 foot tall and bullet-proof.”

I can do this. I can do that. I don’t need any help. Here, hold my beer and I’ll show you. Well, it’s all downhill from there.

As you’ve probably heard by now, Chuck Norris has passed away. The toughest man ever.

If anyone fit the bill of “10 foot tall and bulletproof” it was Chuck Norris.

He was the man, the myth, the legend. The unbeatable, indestructible, invincible superhuman Chuck Norris. Nobody or nothing could bring him down. Except death.

Hebrews 9:27 says “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgement.”

Chuck Norris the man was a Christian and he understood that verse very well, I’m sure.

The movies made him the superhero, and he played the part very well. On the movie screen he was larger than life. He didn’t need any help. . . he was Chuck Norris.

As a Christian, on the flipside of that Hollywood persona, he knew he needed a savior. He needed Christ. He couldn’t do life on his own, no matter how tough one man could be.

He spoke often of his faith and how important it was to him. In real life he was man enough to admit that real men do live for Christ.

I guess what I’m trying to convey here is, no one is invincible. No one can save themselves. Noone can beath death. It’s unavoidable.

The problem is we don’t know when, where, or how death will find us. But it will. Guaranteed.

Thank God Chuck knew this reality. He knew where his hope lay. Not in his movie and television created personality, but in the Creator of all things. And he was unashamed to share his faith and tell all who was willing to listen.

Chuck Norris was just a man, but he was a man who lived for Christ. And that is something to live for.
