## **Who is this Son of Man?**

Not every question deserves a direct answer. Some questions are invitations.

When Jesus spoke about the need for the **Son of Man to be lifted up**, many asked:

*“Who is this Son of Man?” (John 12:34, NVI)*

It was a legitimate question. But Jesus did not answer the way they expected. He did not point to himself. He did not explain. He spoke of light.

### **The question that ran into mystery**

The listeners were confused. After all, the Law said that the Christ would remain forever. How, then, could Jesus speak of being “lifted up”? That sounded like death. It sounded like weakness. Like failure.

They wanted explanation. Jesus offered **revelation**.

*“For a little while longer the light will be with you. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness does not overtake you.” (John 12:35, NVI)*

In other words: “You don't need more information. You need illumination.”

### **Jesus does not explain: He invites**

Jesus was never a master of debates. He did not come to prove a point, but to **manifest a life**. The Son of Man is not understood by the letter, but by the Spirit.

That is why He does not answer with doctrine, but with a calling:

*“Believe in the light while you have it, so that you may become children of light.” (John 12:36, NVI)*

### **Whoever walks in the light understands the Son of Man**

The identity of the Son of Man is not a concept, it is a **person revealed along the way**.

Jesus was saying, in essence: “If you walk with me, you will understand. You will see. You will believe.”  
The light reveals. And that light was right there. Not to be analyzed, but followed.

### **The Son of Man today: still lifted up, and still questioned**

Today, the Son of Man continues to be lifted up. No longer on the visible cross, but **in the lives of those in whom Christ is being formed**.

And the world, including the religious world, keeps asking:  
“But who is this?”  
“What spirit is this?”  
“Where does this wisdom, this love, this surrender come from?”

And the answer remains the same as Jesus' answer:

**Walk in the light. See for yourself. It is not about convincing, it is about believing.**

### **Christ is not copied, He is revealed**

To lift up the Son of Man in us is to let the new humanity of Christ appear: humble, full of grace, full of truth.  
And yes, as in that time, this stirs up conflict.  
But it also draws people in.

*“But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” (John 12:32, NVI)*

### **Conclusion: the best answer is to live the answer**

Who is this Son of Man?  
He is the One who overcame through the cross.  
He is the One who lives through the light.

He is the One who, today, **wants to be lifted up in me and in you**.

And when He is, we will no longer need to explain. **It will be enough to live**.
