JESUS comes down with HIS disciples. JESUS would have stayed up there, but HE displays the nature of GOD here, the nature of GOD is humble, loving and righteous at the same time demanding holiness. If it had been a self righteous Pharisee they would not have come down from their highest position, and mingled with the outcast and the gentiles. It is true that GOD demanding holiness cannot mingle with unholy humans, that is why JESUS had to take on the form of a human to be with us. HE humbled HIMSELF by coming down for us. HE also set an example for HIS disciples, first by loving GOD by spending the whole night praying to HIM and second loving others by humbling HIMSELF and meeting their needs.
I just heard a sermon where the preacher said all the so called gods are needy persons requiring and demanding one thing or another from the people. But the one true GOD, humbled HIMSELF and met the needs of HIS people. The passage says that HE healed everyone who came to HIM. HE had the power to heal and freely gave it away healing sicknesses that were both physical and spiritual. How great and amazing is this GOD. HE went even to the cross to gave HIS life to make HIS people holy. HE is such a good GOD and HE alone is GOD!
