Illustration: Praying is Hard.
Look with me in
While He was praying.
In Luke, Matthew, Mark, John.
Jesus is recorded praying in every Gospel.
Jesus Prayed at His baptism
Luke records that Jesus often went alone and prayed.
We often slip away but its rarely to pray.
In the face of being killed and in the face of a decision to make (choosing the disciples), he prayed and prayed a lot.
He prayed before he taught.
Jesus prays a lot and every Gospel writer records this.
This is no strange teaching the fact that Jesus prays.
His praying is noticeably different.
There is an observable difference in the way Jesus prays.
Surely, if someone didn’t need to pray it was Jesus right?
Oftentimes, I hear this preached this way, If Jesus needed to pray and he was the son of God, then surely we need to pray.
There is an observable difference in the way Jesus prays.
What is that difference?
We would like to know what sparked the disciple’s interest.
I think both in quantity and in quality, Jesus’s prayer life is different.
Jesus prays often.
He gets alone with His Father and He prays.
We are expected to pray often as well.
Well what does that mean?
(John Piper)
Constant dependence.
Pray repeatedly.
Don’t Give Up
The Second Observable difference is that Jesus Prays Well.
Jesus prays well.
There is a reason why His disciples want him to teach them to pray.
Something about His prayer is different than others.
There is a quality to Jesus’s prayers that we should strive for.
Now Most of you know what comes next.
Jesus spends time teaching them to pray here in the Luke account.
This is where we hear a portion of the Lord’s prayer.
We have a longer version in Matthew.
We are gonna focus on that instruction over the next few weeks as we ask God to teach us to pray.
We are going after our own specific prayer time, we are going to dissect this prayer taking portion by portion and digging deep into what he means.
