Mark 14:50

Mark 14:50 And they all forsook him, and fled. Just a couple of hours after Jesus sat with His disciples at the Last Supper, Jesus was arrested and hauled in to trial at the chief priest’s palace. At just the time when Jesus needed support, all of the disciples bailed out on Him. They deserted Him at His time of need. Jesus must have felt lonely as He faced His enemies. After promising Jesus that they would never desert Him, what did the disciples do? They deserted Jesus. But before we blame them too much, What about us? Do we stick up for Jesus or do we desert Him? When someone starts a dirty joke, do we stick up for Jesus? When someone uses bad language, do we stick up for Jesus? When kids lay out of Master Club or Youth Meetings, do we call them out for missing, or do we just desert Jesus? Let’s make a commitment to be followers of Jesus whatever comes. Let’s make a promise to stand up for Jesus!
