The Secret of Being Alone

At some time in our lives, we all feel alone.

Nearing the end of Jesus’s earthly life, He told his disciples, “you will leave me all alone.”

Jesus knew that the time of his arrest, trial, and crucifixion was nearing. Jesus also knew that those closest to him would run.

So where do you get the strength to hold on when there is no one there to hold?

Jesus knew the great secret of being alone. Listen to the way he explained it in John 16, verse 32.

“An hour is coming, and has already come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone…”

He then told them the secret of being alone: “Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.”

Jesus knew that when everything is against you, when your cross is near, when even those closest to you desert you, even then. You are never alone.

No, because the father is with you.
