37._ Unique son

We remained, in sum, with a stirring image of a boy new born, weak and vulnerable, who represents authentically God incarnated by love to the men, while the angelical message resonates: "Glory to God in the heights (in the supreme level of the Last Newness) and peace (salvation for the eternal life) in the Earth (in the temporary level of the cosmic process) to the men (to all the humanity, present, passed and future), who are object of His benevolence". A message that describes with all exactitude the sense and the beginning of the Incarnation.

God appears weak and vulnerable before the human eyes, but what we repute as weakness is in fact the sweeping unfolding of the power of His "arm", that comes to disperse the arrogants, to raise the humbles and to satiate the hungry ones, as He had promised mercifully to our ancestors.

When we see God incarnated in Jesus new born we are admitting that his identity of Messiah has not been received nor learned later, as in the case of others "anointed", but is intrinsic to his nature. Jesus represents God of a unique way, intrinsically, totally, authentically. Thus, we recognize in him a mysterious divine filiation --not to the way of a human biological filiation--, which is work of the spirit of God for the Redemption.
For that reason, we affirm that when it is called to Jesus "Son of God" does not mean in the broad sense that is applied to anointed others, but in a strict, new, unique sense, much more hard that the one of to be a simple inspired, a mere delegate or spokesman, or invested, of God; much more hard even that the bond that implies the word "son" in the biological sense. For that reason Jesus (name who means "God saves") is not "an" anointed more, but "the" Messiah, "the Son" of God.

Nevertheless, we think that the own Jesus only gradually became aware of this throughout his life. We think that he conceived his mission as a prophetic announcement of the imminent coming of the Kingdom of God, and the necessary conversion to receive it, but that he was realizing only gradually that it would be made by him and in him.
