The Grands Letter (GLJ)

Dear Grands,

Mark 14:50, “And they all left Him and fled.”

Jesus’ ministry on Earth was nearing an end. Mary had anointed

Him with oil, an act Jesus said was for His burial. The disciples

still doubted He would die. Peter avowed he would even die for

Jesus, seeming to overlook that Jesus would die for him. But,

when “push” came to “shove,” they all ran away. I receive notices

almost daily of Christians in other countries, who suffer even to

death, but without denying Jesus. We don’t have to literally run

away to deny Him. Silence is a way of denial. There’s an old

saying, “Sometimes silence is golden; sometimes it’s yella.”

If ever there were a time that we need to speak up for Jesus, it

Is today! Let’s not be like those who “left Him and fled.”

Love you all scrumptiously,

Nana & Dado III
