The Heart of Jesus

"The Son does whatever the Father does." John 5:19

The crowning attribute of Christ was this: His heart was spiritual. His thoughts reflected His intimate relationship with the Father. "I am in the Father and the FAther is in me," He states (John 14:11) . . .

Jesus took His instructions from God. It was His habit to go to worship (Luke 4:16). It was His practice to memorize Scripture (Luke 4:4). Luke says Jesus "often slipped away to be alone so He could pray" (Luke 5:16). His times of prayer guided Him. He once returned from prayer and announced it was time to move to another city (Mark 1:38). Another time of prayer resulted in the selection of disciples (Luke 6:12-13). Jesus was led by an unseen hand . . .
