The Boy Who Ran Away
Sermon
The Victory of the Cross
Sermons for Lent and Holy Week
To understand what follows, cast loose your imagination for the moment. In this sermon, I am going to pretend that I am a Bible character who lived two thousand years ago, and I am writing a letter to the modern-day Christian church. The letter begins as follows:
I.
My name is John Mark. I was a witness to the last night Jesus spent on earth, and I represent all children at the events you call the Passion. Yes, it's true. It wasn't just grown-ups who were with Jesus that final night. I was there, too. I am the boy who ran away naked when they arrested our Lord.
