My Thoughts

Jesus' favorite title for himself was Son of Man.

I love that he loved that title for several reasons. First I love the title because he wanted to identify completely with Mankind so much that he became a human. He didn't become son of ape, or son of dolphin or son of chimpanzee, he became a man. In doing so he placed a special purpose and 'office' on humans. We are the ones that God has chosen to redeem and through us he wants to preserve he world he created. Secondly, it singles out humans so distinctly that it mandates the specialness of humans in a world that thinks humans are just a random result of a non-scientific process of evolution. (Non-scientific because macro-evolution cannot be duplicated in the lab.)

It is awesome that Jesus wanted to be known as just another Man because it is only as a man, fully man and fully God, could he redeem all mankind so that we could be reconciled to God.

Love,
