Every time something significant was about to happen, you could find Jesus preparing for that time by praying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the preparation for his time of ministry, we see the same thing. Jesus goes off for fasting and prayer. In the midst of this, he faces temptation (we&#8217;ll talk more about that soon). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Jesus himself modeled for us the very kind of habits and rhythms of life we need in any age. Even as God in human flesh, he prioritized time alone with his Father. Imagine what \u201cgood\u201d he might otherwise have done with all those hours. But he chose again and again, in perfect wisdom and love, to give his first and best moments to seeking his Father\u2019s face. And if Jesus, even Jesus, carved out such space in the demands of his human life, shouldn\u2019t we all the more?<\/p>\n<cite>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.desiringgod.org\/articles\/time-alone-for-god\">Time alone for God<\/a>&#8221; by David Mathis<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus would spend time in ministry, then time alone with the Father. He would spend time teaching his disciples, then spend time with God. He would heal and teach, then spend time with God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prayer was a priority for Jesus<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Foundation of Scripture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The tempter\u00a0came to him and said, \u201cIf you are the Son of God,\u00a0tell these stones to become bread.\u201d Jesus answered,\u00a0\u201cIt is written: \u2018Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the devil took him to the holy city\u00a0and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.\u00a0\u201cIf you are the Son of God,\u201d\u00a0he said, \u201cthrow yourself down. For it is written: \u201c\u2018He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.\u2019\u201d Jesus answered him,\u00a0\u201cIt is also written: \u2018Do not put the Lord your God to the test.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.\u00a0\u201cAll this I will give you,\u201d he said, \u201cif you will bow down and worship me.\u201d Jesus said to him,\u00a0\u201cAway from me, Satan!\u00a0For it is written: \u2018Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>11&nbsp;<\/sup>Then the devil left him,&nbsp;and angels came and attended him.<\/p>\n<cite>Matthew 4:3-11 (NIV)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many powerful lessons in this exchange. The devil wanted to put a halt to what Jesus was about to do and came with some powerful temptations. There&#8217;s much to be learned in examining the temptations themselves and to examine Jesus&#8217;s response. But for now, we&#8217;ll focus on this one thing: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus relied on the Word of God for his response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If anyone could have stood on his own ability and righteousness, it would be Jesus. Yet what did he focus on? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authority of God&#8217;s word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Foundation for Jesus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two things stand out for us as we watch Jesus prepare for his ministry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He relied on prayer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He relied on the Word of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we see is that his foundation was time with the Father. He spent time with the Father in prayer, and he knew and relied on the Father&#8217;s words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we examine what Jesus did, what he said and where he went, the first thing we see is the foundation of his relationship with the Father. As followers of Jesus, this is a powerful clue as to what it means to actually follow him:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Doing what Jesus did means prioritizing a relationship with the Father.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If we truly want to be like Jesus, if we truly wish to follow him, a significant first step is to priroitize time with the Father. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bible doesn&#8217;t tell us much about the early life of Jesus.
