LIFE CHALLENGE Then all the disciples left him and ran away.A certain young man, dressed only in a linen cloth, was following Jesus. They tried to arrest him, but he ran away naked, leaving the cloth behind. (Mark 14: 50-52, Good News Edition) The above “verses” perfunctorily looks simple. However, it entails with it rather intriguing and important queries: 1.Who was this “young man”? 2.Why did he dress up so unusually withonlya thin linen sheet covering his nakedness going to otherwise public place – the garden of Gethsemane, under sensitive setting of seizure of Messiah (peace be upon him) who was to be put to death? 3.What motivated this young man to endanger his life by following Jesus (peace be upon him) in that risky situation? 4.Did he “follow” Jesus (peace be upon him) as his disciple? 5.If he was a disciple, why was he not introduced before? 6.Furthermore, except Mark, why are every other New Testament author, including the gospel authors, absolutely silent about him? ~ Ijaz Ahmad. & Hazan Ali~
