Faith the Son of Man seeks; true God become son of man

“When the Son of Man comes, will he find the faith on the earth?” Come then, testing again the sense of what was said, let us look round at this: what faith will our Lord Jesus Christ seek on the earth when he returns from the heavens? For if he wants to be believed by us that he is not God nor truly Son, but rather a human with nothing beyond what is ours, who would doubt that he will find that sort of judgment—that is, faith and opinion—not among us, but among Greeks and Jews? For idolaters and those who worship the creature rather than the Creator, when they hear of the cross he endured for us and also of the death, laugh, the wretches; and if someone should name him God, they jump up at once, defining the matter as human-worship. And those from the circumcision were attacking Christ, saying clearly: “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy, because you, being a human, make yourself God.” When therefore he does not seek the faith that is among those led astray, but rather that among us who are accustomed to think rightly, there is every necessity, having nodded toward the truth, to confess that the one who has also become Son of Man for us is God by nature.

He has not come to be outside judging because of the identity of essence; and the one who received is Son of Man. How then is it clear to all that the Word is God because of the ineffable generation from God the Father, and that the same one is also Son of Man because he has been united to flesh and has endured generation from a woman as we do? So when he says to the Jews, “Why do you seek to kill me, a human who has spoken the truth to you?” and again, “No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man,” and when he says about himself, “For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels,”
