Get the appHEAL – God’s Heart for Healing in MarkНамуна
Time with God
After a night of nonstop healings in Capernaum, Jesus got up before sunrise to be alone and pray to God. The night before, He had just ministered to the entire town seeking healing for their sick and demon-possessed loved ones.
It’s refreshing to see that the Son of God placed a priority on being alone with His Heavenly Father. He had just been serving, helping, listening, healing and caring for people, but now this was His time to refocus and regenerate, and how does He do so? He spends time with God. He too needed a time of refreshing.
His alone time was cut short when His disciples told Him everyone was looking for Him. But Jesus said, “Let’s go somewhere else.” Although physical healing was part of Jesus’ ministry, what did He say was his reason for coming? He had more preaching to do.
Questions:
- Why do you think Jesus made time to be alone and pray to God?
- What is the importance of taking time to rest and focus when you are caring for others or yourself?
- Why do you think Jesus was ready to move to the next town?
