A PRAYING JESUS
TEXT: “And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He departed and went out to a desolate place, and there He prayed.” Mark 1:35
“And there he prayed” = the Son of God on His knees in prayer. What a sight!
Jesus prayed not only early in the morning but all throughout the day and His ministry.
Before He chose the 12 disciples Jesus spent some time in prayer. Luke 6:12 states that He prayed all night for He fully recognized the magnitude of His choices.
He prayed privately but He also prayed publicly. Matthew 11:24-25 Jesus said. “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and have revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.”
He instructed the disciples on how to pray. See Matthew 6:9-13
Jesus realized the necessity of prayer and that it was essential for the fulfillment of His ministry.
Jesus prayed that the will of God be done first in His life. That was His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Luke 22:41-44
