In this series wrap-up, Jesus makes it clear who really understands, and who doesn't understand, who He is and what He has done for them.

Until we learn that our place in God' kingdom is based solely on something He gives us rather than on things we do for Him, we will never be positioned to reach out to others.

In one of the most famous stories that Jesus ever told, sometimes we forget who He was talking to and why He told the story in the first place.

Jesus makes it clear why He came and who He came looking for. And then, He makes it clear throughout His teachings, "If you understand what I have done for you, you'll go and do the same thing for someone else."

If God trusts a person with something that He cares about, God will also hold them accountable for what they did and did not do with what He gave them.

If Jesus is the good shepherd and men are called to be like Him, then it"s important to know how to be tender with those who are most important.

Not only is it important to know who and what to fight for, but it is important to know how to fight and what to fight with.

If you have any hope of seeing the people that you love experience the life that God meant for them to have, it is only going to happen if someone is willing to fight for it. Are you a man who is willing to fight for his family?

One of the reasons that many of us fail —- especially men —- is that we've been following a dumbed-down and incorrect version of Jesus that isn't really worth following. But, if we could see Jesus as he really is and if we could understand how Jesus really sees us, many of the problems and challenges that we face in our daily lives today could be faced in a new, better way.

When asked for a better way to pray, Jesus directed his followers to ask a better question; "What do YOU want for me?"
