MONDAY, THIRD WEEK OF LENT

The Son of Man,
a Child,
a Part of Tradition

For a child has been born for us,
a son given to us;
authority rests upon his shoulders;

Isaiah 9:6b

Let the portrait draw you to ponder in your heart the child, the man. Imagine the man the child suggests. Imagine the child with authority resting on his shoulders.

"Baby Brother" Bowling Green, Ky., 1917

From childhood to charismatic leader—imagine one such today.

Will you recognize and follow today’s Son of Man or will you think him an imposter and a threat to our way?

Jesus, Son of Man, Lord of the earth, grow in my heart. Be the notions of my mind. Guide my feet this day. Amen.
