Jesus showed his true love to us by going to the cross even though he was powerful enough to say no if he wanted to. All of his followers left him but he still went. Jesus' love for them did not depend on their love for him. He loved them simply because he loved them; and since he loved them (and everybody else) he went to the cross.
When the guards came to arrest Jesus in the garden, all of his disciples fled, but Mark 14:51-52 adds this, "And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over his naked body: and they lay hold on him; but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked." Historically, people think that this young man was Mark. It's like he was taking the opportunity to confess to fleeing from Jesus too, instead of just talking about the disciples' mistakes. It's kind of random, but I just think that's really cool.
By the way, Jesus rose again so he is alive now. :)
Here's an awesome video to watch. It made me really proud to follow Jesus. And it gave me goosebumps :) Please check it out!
