The UK pastor Tim Chester wrote a great little book called A Meal with Jesus, where he pointed out there’s an iconic verbal formula that’s used two times in Luke: “The Son of Man came…”[23] First, Luke wrote, “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”[24] That was what Jesus did—his mission. Then he wrote, “The Son of Man came eating and drinking.”[25] That was how Jesus did it—his method.[26]
