Alone with God.
In His solitary place, Jesus finds the courage to follow God’s will and not His own; to speak God’s words and not His own; to do God’s work and not His own. He reminds us constantly: “By Myself, I can do nothing…for I seek not to please Myself but Him who sent Me. John 5:30. And again “The words I say to you are not just My own. Rather, it is the Father, living in Me, who is doing His work.” John 14:10. It is in this solitary place where Jesus enters into intimacy with the Father, thus His ministry is born.
