We love to call ourselves ‘pastors’, ‘apostles’, ‘evangelists’, ‘doctors’, ‘prophets’, ‘ministers’, ‘men (or women) of God’, ‘anointed’, ‘professors’, ‘spiritual fathers’, ‘mentors’, ‘reverends’, ‘leaders’, “counselors’, ‘shepherds’, ‘overseers’, ‘presidents’, ‘deacons’, ‘elders’, ‘teachers’, etc… in fact, the only thing we love more than this is when other people call us by these titles.
Yet Jesus of Nazareth, believed to be Lord and Messiah, the hero of all time and the only worthy one to be emulated by countless Christians throughout the centuries, … . . . this Jesus, believed to be the only one who really has legitimate claim to entitlement, being the revealed ‘seed’ of God, even God in the flesh, wanted only to be known as the ‘son of man.’
