How and when and why did Jesus pray?
Jesus simply prayed to God his father like you would talk to your father. He prayed all the time "without ceasing", and prayed to set the example for us, and also because he understood how much you gain from it. .
What language did Jesus pray in?
Jesus likely prayed in Aramaic, as it was the language commonly spoken in the region of Galilee where he grew up. He may have also been familiar with Hebrew, the language of the Jewish scriptures, and possibly Greek, due to the cultural influences in the Roman Empire at the time.
Could any of the disciples have seen Jesus sweat blood?
A:This passage is only found in Luke's Gospel (Luke 22:44): "And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground." It supposedly took place while Jesus was praying alone in the Garden of Gethsemene and the disciples were asleep some way off.The passage is ambiguous as to whether Jesus sweated actual blood, or drops of sweat that simply looked like blood. Clearly, there was no witness to this, and it is not told in any of the other gospels. Moreover, scholars have now established that Luke's Gospel was substantially based on Mark's Gospel, so the reference to Jesus sweating blood, or like blood, is an embellishment intended to impress Luke's original audience. No one saw Jesus sweat blood.
How many times did Jesus pray in the Bible?
Many times although but only a few were actually written down. Jesus prayed every morning and every night. He also prayed often during the day. Jesus was in constant contact with his Heavenly Father, just like we should be today.
Did Jesus prayed if he did who did he prayed to if he is God?
Jesus is God and prays to his father God, keeping relationship with Him and the Holy Spirit God as well. When Jesus was human he was more like god than everyone else, but he needed advice from his father, (God) he prayed for help along his journey. he really wasnt God in a different form, he was more of a #1 follower So they like more than one God, I find this really interesting as Christianity is sort the same as Hinduism, Buddism and sikhism, they believe in the same sort of ideology (God in-carnation)
What reason do Christians give for Jesus sweating blood?
Christians believe that Jesus sweating blood, known as hematidrosis, was a physical manifestation of the extreme stress and agony he was experiencing in anticipation of his crucifixion. This event is often seen as a powerful symbol of Jesus's willingness to endure suffering for the salvation of humanity.
How will it help you to be christ like?
To be Christ like would be to worship and pray to the same God that Jesus worshiped and prayed to:Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" [Matthew 4:10]Going a little farther, he (i.e. Jesus) fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." [Matthew 26:39]So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me (i.e. my prayer and request that you raise Lazarus from the dead!). I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me." [John 11:41-42]
How did Jesus understand his death?
A:Depending on the gospel, Jesus (1) believed that God would intervene to save him from crucifixion; (2) was reluctant to die but willing to do God's bidding; (3) feared death so greatly that his sweat was like drops of blood; or (4) looked forward to death as the accomplishment of his mission. Starting with Mark's Gospel because this was the original New Testament gospel: Mark's Gospel gives us one answer - if this is a historical record, Jesus was very reluctant to die. At the Garden of Gethsemene (Mark 14:35): "And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him." Mark 15:34 says that Jesus' last words on the cross were, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" He had prayed to God at the Garden of Gethsemene and now realised that God was not answering his prayer to be saved from crucifixion. If this is not a historical record of Jesus' last words, then there is no foundation for the gospel story of the crucifixion. But if these passages are true, Jesus had no wish to die on the cross, only dying because God did not intervene to save him.Matthew 26:39 portrays a very human reluctance but also a willingness to do his Father's bidding: "And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."Luke 22:41-44: "And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground." This passage is the most ambiguous of all. Jesus shows relucatance to die, but willingness to do his Father's bidding, much as he does in Matthew. On the other hand, his sweat is like great drops of blood, showing him to be very afraid.In John's Gospel, Jesus prays before going to the garden, not while he is there. In John 17:1-4, Jesus was not just human. He had no fear of the crucifixion, having been sent from heaven for this very mission and glorified by God: "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."
Does Jesus refer to God the father?
That is correct, for Christ often prayed to His Father in heaven for guidence. Just like you and I He also has a father who resides in heaven. The bible does not refute this fact but testifies of the truth of it.
Why are the stations of the cross called stations?
it is called that cause it is where a person stands of falls like Jesus stood somewhere and he also fell for us
Why we should do morning prayers?
Jesus taught us the importance of daily prayer. He said, "Always pray, never lose heart" (Luke 18:1). He also said to converse with God day and night (Luke 18:7). When He taught His disciples to pray, He told them to ask God for their daily needs (Luke 11:3).Jesus set an example of daily prayer by praying during all kinds of circumstances:He prayed at His baptism (John 3:21).He prayed as He faced His passion (Matthew 26:39) and on the cross (Matthew 27:46; Luke 23:34, 46).Jesus prayed while in agony, He prayed all the more earnestly (Luke 22:44).He prayed during sad times, like at the tomb of His friend Lazarus.He prayed all night before He chose His disciples. (Luke 6:12).He prayed when He broke bread and gave it to others to eat (John 6:11).Jesus made it a priority to pray. "Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed" (Luke 5:16), or He sent the crowds away and "went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray" (Matthew 14:23). We also read that Jesus rose "very early in the morning" and "went off to a solitary place where He prayed" (Mark 1:35).Morning prayer is important because it helps us have a good and soothing day. We need to thank God for giving us life to see the new morning. We need to pray so that the day goes well without getting into trouble.
