Day 3

John 2:12 "After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days."

What struck me: Periodically, Jesus withdrew with his disciples and just spent time with them alone. You can also see this in John 3:22 – “After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized.” Why? Here's my best guess: His time alone with them allowed him to teach them, strengthen His relationship with them, and mentor them. I imagine that what Jesus valued was both the teaching time and relationship building time.

Example to follow: I think this is one of the key elements of helping people grow. It takes both time together with people who are spiritually growing and good teaching.
Prayer to pray: God, is there someone else who can come in my life to help me grow? Do I need to look for a mentor in some area of my life who can teach me how to live more like you?
