They all forsook him, and fled.

The word tells us how Jesus was taken captive by a great multitude with swords and staves, sent by the chief priest and the scribes and the elders.(See Mark 14: 43 and following). Judas betrayed Christ with a kiss, and Jesus was taken captive. In Verse 50 of Mark 14 it says, "And they all forsook him, and fled. It seems true that it is still happening today, that when trouble comes Christians run over one another forsaking Christ and fleeing to what they might call greener pastures. Let's all be careful not to forsake Christ nor one another. Have you ever forsaken Christ? It can happen as we are given an opportunity to speak up for Christ, and instead of speaking for him our message is abundantly clear as we flee the uncomfortable situation. Are we free to speak about Christ and introduce Him to others? God's will is that all be saved. Jesus is still the answer to man's problems and contrary to what many think, Jesus still Saves!
