Jesus demands genuine devotion and obedience rather than hypocritical piety.

All of our answers concerning who God is and what God is doing are visible when God became present as the man Jesus.

Jesus comes as a humble king who prepares His temple for the fruitfulness of His coming Kingdom.

Jesus has done something for us that we cannot do for ourselves, and knowing Jesus rightly allows us to know and love God more earnestly, trust Him more courageously, and relate to Him more authentically.

Following Jesus has implications for even the most basic, yet most important parts of life together: Marriage, children, and possessions; and each time His teaching reorients the deeper focus and goes against what people expected.
