How much time did Jesus spend alone? Not counting his relationship with the Father. I only count a few times where Jesus was not in the company of others.
Once it was in the temptation in the wilderness. Fasting for 40 days and 40 nights. He did that alone.
Then it was for times of prayer on the mountain. He withdrew from his followers and from his disciples for times of prayer. He did those prayers alone.
The rest of the time Jesus was always in the company of others. Sometimes a small group, sometimes with a big crowd. Even on the cross Jesus was not alone. He had two thieves crucified with him.
Jesus was an actively social man. Should we follow his example and engage in social activities? How about going to church in person? How about greeting others?
It's the banana that leaves the bunch that gets skinned.
