Men, You've Been Misinformed

Men's skin is about 25% thicker than women's, but thicker skin doesn't mean better aging. It means delayed collapse. For years, your skin looks resilient. Then collagen declines, and when it does, it drops hard: deeper wrinkles, heavier under-eye bags, more dark spots showing up all at once.

Most men were never taught to get ahead of this. Women were. And by the time the signs show up, you're playing catch-up.

No complicated routine. Over 1,000,000 men already use it. Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

🧠 Devotional

In Matthew 11:11 (NIV), Jesus says:

“Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”

So why is Jesus saying this? Isn’t He the greatest?

The phrase “born of women” matters.

It’s a common way of referring to all people, to normal human life. Everyone is born that way, so it’s basically another way of saying humanity.

So when Jesus says “among those born of women,” He’s talking about people, and He’s placing John the Baptist at the top among them.

He’s not including Himself in that comparison. He’s speaking about humanity, not ranking Himself within it.

And this is where the second part helps explain it.

“…yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”

Jesus is shifting from human birth to something greater, the kingdom of heaven.

Because while He was born of a woman, He wasn’t born in the same way as everyone else. He isn’t just from man, He is from heaven and the one bringing the kingdom itself.

So He’s not placing Himself in the same category He just described.

But the second part isn’t just about Him.

He’s saying that being part of the kingdom of heaven is greater than even the highest level of human greatness.

John is the greatest among people, but even the least person in the kingdom is greater, not because of who they are on their own, but because of what they are part of.

So this isn’t just about Jesus being different.

It’s about a shift from human greatness to something greater entirely, being part of the kingdom of heaven.

So know this: being great in the world is one thing, but being part of the kingdom of heaven is greater.
