Some see 13 as an unfortunate and unfavorable number.  But Jesus was the 13^th man in His group. The 13^th man was the teacher, the leader, and the Master. The 13^th man was the model for the 12 disciples to pattern and measure their lives by.  Today as you partner with God, don’t measure your life by any other person but Jesus.  He is the very best example for all life. Ephesians 4:13 (NKJV) says, “till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
