Why Can't We Just Stay Here? (Mark 9:2-9)

Why does he leave—when it’s safer to just camp out here?

Jesus goes down the mountain into the valley of the shadow of Lent, because that’s where his presence is needed most. That’s where the last, the least, and the lost scramble to survive. Down there.

I suspect he goes down there because he’s heard the voices of people terrified at the thought of what the future holds.

Jesus heads down there because that’s where the action is, where the tempest toss’d live in fear of the night. Down there.
