Concept of Christ
|
Jesus' prayer life demonstrates a dependant spirit. Jesus saw prayer as His source of guidance and strength, his way to be in-step with the purposes of the Father.
The Word of God was revered by Jesus. It was the source of wisdom and authority by which he spoke, made decisions and ministered to others. Decidedly different from his comtemporaries- Jesus taught God's Word from his heart to the heart of others.
It is clear that Jesus did not chase popularity status or material gain. He was able to focus on who he was and what God the Father had planned him to do. Knowing who God is, what He has done for us and who we are in Christ frees us to let God be the center of our lives |
