“Running Away” from Mark 14:32-52. When the day comes, and it will, that we must choose between following Jesus or running away to safety what will we choose? Now, Before you and I say we would, without question, follow Jesus we would do well to remember that when confronted with this same choice, all of those with Jesus in the garden ran for their lives. So maybe they should have been watching and praying as Jesus asked them instead of sleeping.
