The first time Jesus refers to Himself as “Son of Man” in the Gospels is this verse.

“The Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
Matthew 8:20

The One who created galaxies entered His own world as a stranger.
He owns everything, but chose to experience lack.
The One worthy of all honor was received with none.

His humility was not an accident. It was part of the mission.

Paul writes:
“He made Himself of no reputation… taking the form of a servant.”
Philippians 2:7

Before the crown came the homelessness.
Before the throne came the towel.
Rejection came before glory.

He walked the path downward so He could lift us upward.

The road to glory often begins with a place that feels beneath you.
