Jesus's Divine Prudence
Commentators explain that Jesus avoiding Judea was not cowardice but wisdom. As a man, he acted prudently to preserve his life because his work was not finished and his 'time had not yet come.' This teaches believers to use wisdom when facing danger, preserving their lives for continued service to God without compromising their mission.
