SON OF MAN
"Son of Man". What a perfect
self-appellation Yeshu (Jesus) chose!....especially coupled with references to
us as "this generation". Yes, fully human, unambiguously human,
yet a descendent, more advanced, of a different spiritual generation. It
is a title accurate and informative, meaningful because it was not bestowed,
but matter of factly claimed.
Son of Man…..knowing so much more than this
generation could ever understand, homeless for lack of understanding by our
generation, crucified by our rejection of the unheard lessons that might indict
us.
Son of Man, reduced to struggling for parables to
try to communicate a little of what we would not want to
understand.
Son of Man, all ego stripped in that curious
title, but at each mention dropping a hint as to His nature…..and ours.
