Our Master often used the title "Son of Man." Though he could have spoken of himself as the Son of God or the Everlasting Father, Jesus chose humility, calling himself the Son of Man. Let's learn from our Savior and avoid craving titles or high status. There's a beautiful truth here.
Jesus loved humanity so deeply that he honored us by taking on that title. It dignifies us that Jesus, the Son of Man, claims this name, showing God's love to Abraham's descendants. Each time he used this title, he uplifted humanity. Yet, there's an even deeper meaning.
By calling himself the Son of Man, Jesus shows his unity and empathy with us. We can approach him without fear, bringing him our sorrows and struggles. Because he experienced them as one of us, he can comfort and help us.
All praise to you, Jesus. You embrace this name, revealing your grace, humility, and love. You invite us to love you freely, letting us draw near with confidence.
Closing Prayer
Lord, as we close this day, help us to trust you completely, even when the way seems unclear. Through Christ our Savior, Amen.
