Bible Question (short): Mark 14:51 |
Question (full): Hi –My wife and I have been reading from a book called "Sparkling Gems from the Greek", by Rick Renner, we enjoy how Rick Renner breaks downs words into their Greek meaning to give the scripture passage a deeper meaning and a deeper perception then we had before. During Lent we were reading; John 18:6 So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground. Renner points out how this is the power of God speaking, “I AM” it was such a powerful moment the 300 soldiers accompanying Judas actually were pushed to the ground. Last night we were reading; Mark 14:51 A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they *seized him. Mark 14:52 But he pulled free of the linen sheet and escaped naked. I never really gave this passage much attention, but Renner implies that at the moment Jesus says “I AM” this boy was raised from the dead. Awesome! Apparently when people of that time were buried they were placed in the tomb naked, covered with a linen sheet. For sure the boy would want to follow Jesus after being raised from the dead.
