| 0:00.0 | Hey there, my friends. I am glad to have you back with me for the morning mindset. I hope you're ready to get your mind aligned with the truth of God's word for this day. Today we have before as a passage of scripture that's one of those that you read. And at first glance, you just say, why in the world did they include that in telling the |
| 0:22.8 | story? And we're going to get into that in just a moment. So before we do, I want to encourage you, |
| 0:28.6 | would you help us spread the word about the morning mindset by telling someone how you're benefiting. |
| 0:34.4 | You may not know this, but we also have some foreign language versions of the |
| 0:38.3 | morning mindset in Spanish, in Chinese, and in Hindi. So if you know people who are |
| 0:44.1 | speakers of those languages and who would enjoy hearing the word of God in their native tongue, |
| 0:49.3 | please share the morning mindset all those versions and the English version with someone you know. |
| 0:55.0 | Thanks so much, friends. |
| 0:56.9 | All right, before we dig in to mark 14 verses 51 through 52, let's pray together. |
| 1:03.3 | Our God, we ask you to be our teacher. |
| 1:05.8 | We ask you to show us how to hear your voice today as we are the ones who need you so badly, Lord. |
| 1:15.7 | Give us insight, give us direction, help us to understand how to apply what we read today. |
| 1:20.6 | In Jesus' name, amen. |
| 1:23.0 | Okay, friends, Mark 1451 through 52, as I said, this is a passage that when you first read it, you kind of wonder why they decided to include this. |
| 1:32.3 | And I think, number one, this is an evidence of the authenticity of the Gospels. |
| 1:38.3 | You see, people would not write the kind of thing we're about to read if they're trying to craft a polished |
| 1:44.6 | story that they want to convince people is true when it's really not. You know, this is the kind of |
| 1:49.8 | real life stuff that happens that for whatever reason Mark just felt was important to include. |
| 1:56.2 | Now, as we dig into it, I think you'll see some of the reason it's included, but let's read it so you know what I'm talking about. |
| 2:02.3 | This is Mark 14, 51 through 52. |
| 2:05.8 | And a young man followed him with nothing but a linen cloth about his body, and they seized him. |
| 2:12.6 | But he left the linen cloth and ran away naked. |
