Text: Luke 9: 18-20

THE LORD JESUS IN PRAYER

1. Taking time out for prayer.

a. This was a constant for the Lord Jesus:

i. At His baptism (Luke 3:21).

ii. In the Wilderness (Luke 4:1-13).
He fasted (and this always goes with prayer).

iii. Before He chose The Twelve, He spent a whole night in prayer (Luke 6:12).

b. Praying alone

i. The Lord Jesus was praying alone (Luke 9:18a).

ii. His Disciples were not very prayerful at this stage.

2. Talking to His disciples.

a. He asked them what people were saying about who He was.

“Who do the crowds say that I am?”
Luke 9:18b

b. The replies:

i. “John the Baptiser” (Luke 9:19a)

ii. “One of the old prophets has risen again” (Luke 9:19b)

3. The belief of the Disciples.

a. What did they believe?

“But who do you say that I am?”
Luke 9:20a

b. Peter answered:

“The Christ of God.”
Luke 9:20b

i. There were many prophecies concerning the Messiah.

ii. The Lord Jesus had fulfilled one prophecy after another.

iii. But the crowds had not discerned who He really was.

iv. Thankfully, the Disciples recognised Him as the Christ of God.
