"Christ the Son of Man"
HOW fond our Master was of the sweet title, the "Son of man!" If He had chosen, He might always have spoken of Himself as the Son of God, the Everlasting Father, the Wonderful, the Counselor, the Prince of Peace. He has a thousand gorgeous titles, resplendent as the throne of heaven; but He cares not to use them; to express His humility and let us see the lowliness of Him whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light, He calls not himself the Son of God, but He speaks of Himself evermore as the Son of man who came down from heaven. Let us learn a lesson of humility from our Savior; let us never court great titles or proud degrees. What are they, after all, but
beggarly distinctions whereby one worm is known from another? He that has the
most of them is a worm still and is in nature no greater than his fellows. If Jesus
called Himself the Son of man, when He had far greater names, let us learn to
humble ourselves unto men of low estate, knowing that he that humbles himself shall
in due time be exalted. Methinks, however, there is a sweeter thought than this in the
name, Son of man. It seems to me that Christ loved manhood so much, that He
always desired to honor it; and since it is a high honor, and indeed the greatest
dignity of manhood, that Jesus Christ was the Son of man, He is wont to display this
name, that He may, as it were, put rich stars upon the breast of manhood, and put a crown upon its head.
