Did Jesus, who is of the same essence with God, pray basically as an example for those who observed him? Or did Jesus, who is also of the same essence with man (possessing body and soul), pray because he needed to pray for his own sake as well as ours? If the latter, which I believe is the case, what does it mean for us to say he “needed” to pray? These are important questions, and they bring us to the heart of our Christology. If Jesus did not pray out of necessity, then something has gone wrong
