WHO IS THE YOUNG MAN DRESSED IN LINEN

Who was that young man dressed in linen? Have you ever wondered? The four gospels of the life of Christ in Matt.,Mark, Luke and John all tell the story of the ministry of Jesus, the last supper, the garden, the arrest, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Only two of the gospels tell of his triumphant march into Jerusalem while the people cried Hosannah. In the garden when the soldiers came to arrest Him, two things happened as a side note Peter cut off the ear of a man and a young man dressed in linen chose to stand by Jesus and to die with Him if necessary. There are two accounts of Peter cutting off the man's ear and only in the book of Mark in the 14th chapter do we find the account of this man. The disciples have ran away but this man stands. He is not afraid to die. Who is this young man who is not afraid to die? Peter swore he would stand by Jesus unto death but became so afraid he denied he even knew Him three times, yet this man stood firm. He was not afraid to die. How come? I went searching for the identity of this man in scripture. In one of the accounts of His entry into the city it said that the people not only came out to see Jesus the miracle worker but they also came to see Lazarus the man Jesus raised from the dead who rode with Him. Of course it all became so clear to me. Lazarus was not afraid to die. He had been there and done that. He was standing by the resurrection and the life, but God could not let him stand there for to do so would make the prophesy dull and void that said He lost not one that the Father had given Him. So God did the only thing he could do to get the young man to run away. His linen garment was jerked from his body and he was naked before men. Men cannot stand naked before men, it is a shame to them. The young man ran away and the prophesy was fulfilled. Consider the young man and be blessed with the knowledge. God Bless!
