I used to joke as a Muslim: “God doesn’t have a wife—how can He have a son?”
It sounded blasphemous. But no one explained this:
In Semitic culture, “son of” doesn’t mean biological. It means identity. Same nature.
Son of Man = fully human.
Son of God = fully divine.
That’s why in John 5:18 they tried to kill Jesus, not for healing, but because calling God His Father meant He was making Himself equal with God.
What used to offend me was this: I am messy. Totally human. The idea of a perfect God stepping into my mess felt wrong. Almost humiliating.
But I had it backwards. He wasn’t lowering Himself out of weakness. He was stepping down out of love. Because I wasn’t climbing my way to heaven. So, God came down - not as a rulebook, not as religion - but as a Son.
As a Savior. God didn’t get married. He revealed His nature.
And when I finally saw it, it didn’t make Him smaller or weaker. It made Him infinitely more powerful and beautiful.
