Luke’s gospel records Jesus’ response
To the question of the chief priests and scribes:
“Art thou the Christ?”
Cagily, he replies that the Son of man
Will sit on the right hand of the power of God.
Which would seem to indicate that he is the Christ.
Except that Ezekiel is called the son of man.
Because a son of man is simply a son of (hu)man.
Clearly, the accusers were confused.
“Art thou then the Son of God?” they ask,
Seeking clarity. Jesus doesn’t give it.
No easy yes. Instead, “Ye say that I am.”
Cagey. Brilliant. Crucified anyway.
Thanks be to God.
