經文: 人子。（約翰福音三：13）

我們的主常常用這個稱謂──「人子」。倘若祂能選擇，祂可以稱自己為上帝的兒子、永在的父、奇妙、策士、和平的君。但是請看耶穌是何等謙卑！祂寧願稱自己為人子。讓我們向救主學習謙卑的功課，永不熱衷於尋求尊貴的頭術或高傲的學位。不僅如此，在祂的名字中有更甜美的含義。耶穌如此愛人類以至祂喜歡尊重人。這真是一個極高的榮譽，是人類的最高尊嚴，耶穌是人的兒子！祂展示這個名字，在人類胸前掛上高貴的記琥，並顯明上帝對亞伯拉罕後裔之愛。每當祂稱個己是人子時，祂從亞當子孫頭上放射出光輝。這名字還有更珍貴的含義。耶穌基督稱自己是人子，為了表明祂與屬祂之人的合一和對他們的關愛。祂提醒我們可以不存懼怕地親近祂。我們可以將所有的憂傷和困難交給祂，因為祂曾經歷過。因祂曾為「人子」，親自遭受過苦難，所以祂能安慰我們。頌讚歸於萬福之耶穌！您這甜美的名字使我們認識您是一位長兄、一位朋友。您的名字讓我們永遠記念您的恩典、您的謙卑、您的大愛。

Scripture: "The Son of man."(John 3:13)

How constantly our Master used the 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 Counsellor, the Prince of Peace; but behold the lowliness of Jesus! He prefers to call himself the Son of man. Let us learn a lesson of humility from our Saviour; let us never court great titles nor proud degrees. There is here, however, a far sweeter thought. Jesus loved manhood so much, that he delighted to honour it; and since it is a high honour, and indeed, the greatest dignity of manhood, that Jesus is the Son of man, he is wont to display this name, that he may as it were hang royal stars upon the breast of manhood, and show forth the love of God to Abraham's seed. Son of man—whenever he said that word, he shed a halo round the head of Adam's children. Yet there is perhaps a more precious thought still. Jesus Christ called himself the Son of man to express his oneness and sympathy with his people. He thus reminds us that he is the one whom we may approach without fear. As a man, we may take to him all our griefs and troubles, for he knows them by experience; in that he himself hath suffered as the "Son of man," he is able to succour and comfort us. All hail, thou blessed Jesus! inasmuch as thou art evermore using the sweet name which acknowledges that thou art a brother and a near kinsman, it is to us a dear token of thy grace, thy humility, thy love.

"Oh see how Jesus trusts himself
Unto our childish love,
As though by his free ways with us
Our earnestness to prove!
His sacred name a common word
On earth he loves to hear;
There is no majesty in him
Which love may not come near."
