Elizabeth's devotions tonight were about Jesus being taken away by the soldiers in the Garden of Gethsemane. At the end, it told how the disciples ran away because they were afraid they'd be taken too.
One of the devotional questions asked, "What would you have done if you were a disciple?" I don't know what I would have done. It seems like the right answer is to stick with Jesus, no matter what. But the practical side of me says that just because one person has to die, there's no reason for others to die too. Jesus never specifically asked the disciples to go with Him after the soldiers came, and it seems like they would do more good free than they would captured.
I asked Elizabeth what she would do. She answered, "I would run away to you!" I guess things are different when you're a kid.
What would you have done?
