Jesus Light of World

Why Didn’t Jesus Pray? Matthew 8:1-3 There is another wonderful truth that we see from this passage. It is a truth that is present in every recorded healing in the ministry of Jesus. This truth is noticeable because of its absence from this story and every story relating to Jesus’ healing ministry. Its absence is another proof that God’s will is for us to be healed. Would you like to know what the missing truth is? Here it is: Jesus never once prayed before He ministered healing to someone! If you look carefully in the gospels, you won’t find one place where Jesus prayed for someone’s healing! Not only did He not pray for the people to be healed, but He never stopped to ask God if He should minister. There is a wonderful truth behind this absence of prayer. Jesus did not pray because He already knew what His Father wanted! He knew that His Father wanted people to be well, so He operated from that premise. Jesus was humble; He was not seeking to gain attention for Himself.
