In watching Christ in his great hour of need we learn that much of our preconceived notions of prayer are fictional and often foolishly religious.  As we watch Him here, he is leaving us an example of what perfection in prayer really looks like. It is earnest, communal, non boxed or formulaic but resting on the foundation of covenanted love with his… and now our…Father, who is all powerful, all wise and all loving towards us.
