Alone With the Father, Jesus As Young Man

Pencil drawing of Jesus as a young man praying to the Father. When Christ went to the Temple at age twelve and spoke with the elders, he knew he was the Son of God. But it was not time to leave home until he was about age thirty to began his public ministry. Between these ages he established close relationship with his real Father--God. His times alone with his Heavenly Father continued all through his ministry. As children of God we also need to set aside time to be alone with God.
