Signs of the Times

Man, the Child of God

David B. Pearson with contributions from James Reid, Dudley Kemp, William T. Ellis

The Rev. David B. Pearson
Exponent, Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Jesus came to reveal God to man, but it is just as true that he came to reveal man to himself. He called himself "the Son of man." He spent his life among the poorest and humblest of mankind to teach us something of the value and worth of man. He said that man was a child of God, capable of friendship and immortal life. These great truths shine out in all his words [and] deeds.

He spoke to man, not as a product of nature, but as a child of God, made in His likeness. Consider the lilies, he said.... Regard the birds of the air.... Are you not worth more than many sparrows?
