We also see Jesus’s willingness to put in the hard work of studying God’s Word (Luke 2:46), discipling (Luke 6:13), preaching (Matthew 5), and ministering to the sick and hurting (Luke 4:40). He did not simply coast through life on earth, marking time until His sacrificial, saving death, but instead He worked faithfully, even reaching a state of depletion from pouring Himself out for the benefit of others (John 4:6).
