One might wonder if Jesus is the Son of Man or Eeyore, always bringing
people down right when his mission gains potential momentum.  We see an
example of this when a rich ruler seeks eternal life, affirming Christ as
God. He leaves sad, but why? Because Jesus exposed the one thing the man
couldn’t surrender: his status. Though he claimed obedience, his identity
was rooted in his accomplishments.  It might be his wealthy status or his
righteousness, but it was not in Christ. Jesus, who never denies His
divinity, challenges this man and us to move beyond performance and
status.  We are called to be humble, empty ourselves, and embrace humility
and daily dependence on Christ who is the sole source of life and eternal
status.
