Solitude and the Restoration of True Community


With the witness of Scripture, the testimony of Church history, and the conviction borne by personal experience all whispering in my ears, I am convinced that the call to Christ-centered solitude is one of the most important and yet most misunderstood and neglected practices in the Church; particularly in the west; specifically with regards to the cultivation of true community. The impact of this neglect is deep and wide.

In this session we’re going to look at the place of solitude in the midst of community.

He Showed Them the Full Extent of His Love (John 13:1)

The narrative of John 13-17 is one of the most precious portions of Scripture. The whole of the account took place on the eve of the Passover and Jesus’ crucifixion. These chapters detail Jesus’ last hours; what He was doing, what He was saying and what He was concerning Himself with.

The account of that memorable night begins in chapter 13 verse 1 with one of the strongest statements of Jesus’ affection and commitment to His own in all of Holy writ. This moving verse ? which will be our focal point in this article ? begins a new section of the book of John transitioning the reader from “the Book of Signs” (1-12) to “the Book of Glory” (13-20).
