The Manual of the Son of Man

How the Children of God Were Created to Function

## The tree that does not eat its own fruit

An orange tree does not feed on oranges. The tree produces, but not for itself, it produces for others.

This is a universal spiritual principle:

- self-control serves the other,
- the fruit serves the other,
- the life that flows serves the other.

Self-control is the last stage of the fruit of the Spirit, full maturity, the stature of the perfect man, the one who does not stumble in speech, whose “yes” is yes and “no” is no, because anything beyond this comes from the Evil One.

In the Kingdom, nothing is for one's own consumption. The tree lives from the water, not from its own fruit.

## The fruit of the Spirit is a single fruit, and it begins in love

Galatians 5:22 speaks of the fruit (in the singular), and not of “fruits”.

It is a single fruit, a single life, a single nature: Christ.

And the first stage of this fruit is love. From love flow joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

The fruit is single because the Life is single.

## Everything began with God, and everything begins with God

Jesus said: “Without me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).

The branch produces nothing on its own. The tree supplies the sap. The Spirit supplies the life.

The fruit is not human effort, it is the result of being connected to the Vine.

## Psalm 1 and the logic of the new life

Psalm 1 describes the tree planted by streams of water. Here, the water represents the Spirit; the tree represents the child.

The fruit comes in its season, to feed whoever comes near, and the leaves do not wither, there is rest and shelter.

The tree exists to serve. The fruit exists to feed.

## The Bible is not the manual of the natural human being

I have always referred to the Bible as the manual of the human being, mistakenly, because it is, in fact, the manual of the child of God.

Genesis 3:20 says that Eve is the mother of all human beings.

But children of God are not born of Eve, they are born of God (John 1:12).

The Bible was not written to improve the natural man, but to reveal and form the new man, the one who is born of the Spirit.

## The Word works inside the child, not in the effort of the mind

The Spirit connects the texts at the right moment, brings to mind what is needed and gives light.

The Word is not memorized; it is lived. The disciple understands in order to live; the religious person memorizes in order to repeat.

## The Son of Man: the model of the new creation

Jesus calls himself the Son of Man not to emphasize weakness, but identity.

He is Man as Man should be, the second Man, the last Adam, the prototype of the new creation (1 Corinthians 15:45–47).

The first man generates natural humanity; the second Man generates children of God.

That is why He is the true Vine, and we are the branches.

## The fruit is the signature of the Spirit: the evidence of sonship

Gifts can impress; knowledge can seduce; religion can discipline.

But only the fruit reveals the life of God.

The fruit is the silent signature of the Spirit saying: “Here is a child”.

## Conclusion

The tree does not live for itself. The fruit is not its own. The water comes from another source.

The Bible is not the manual of the human that Eve bore, but of the child that God is bringing forth.

And the Son of Man, the true Vine, is the Life that causes a single fruit to be born in us: the love that reveals the Father:

Christ in us, the hope of glory. (Col 1:27)
