What Is Man?

Psalms 144:3-4 (ESV)

3 O LORD, what is man that you regard him,

or the son of man that you think of him?

4 Man is like a breath;

his days are like a passing shadow.

From the beginning God chose to put on the image of man in order to fully enter creation with a body and soul. Therefore the Spirit entered the flesh of Mary to create the body and soul of Jesus, thereby becoming the Son of Man. Fully man, yet fully the Son of God. 

We are like passing shadows until we choose to enter His light. We are a breath away from death unless we receive His breath of life. When a son of man receives the Spirit of God, he becomes a son of God and puts on the righteousness of Christ. We are fully man, yet fully a son of God. 

We will be completely united through our death and resurrection in the way of our Lord. Heaven and earth become one and we will be like Him.
