JESUS AND PRAYER
TEXT: “who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear.” Hebrews 5:7
THAT verse is a profound verse of scripture.
It teaches us an incredible truth!
Pregnant with meaning and power.
Jesus had a lot to say about the importance of prayer. He taught in detail and gave instruction about some of the particulars of prayer: how, why, when and where. For example consider the following:
Jesus commands believers to pray for their enemies. Luke 6:28
Jesus tells us to pray that God would send forth laborers into the harvest. Luke 10:2
Jesus teaches that we are to pray with tenacity and perseverance. Luke 11:5-11
We are to pray that we avoid temptation. Luke 22:40,44
Jesus warns us not to pray hypocritical prayers. Luke 20:47
We are to pray that God will give to us copious measures of the Holy Spirit. Luke 11:11-13
On the cross, as He takes his last earthly breaths, He prays and asks the Father, “forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34
What a PRAY-ER Jesus was!
