(Tokyo in Winter; Can be magnified since I took it.)The Son of Man is a title that anyone can claim to have as it means a member of mankind.
Accordingly any poor man can claim that he has one title, at least, the Son of Man.
If the best and supreme person, Jesus of Nazareth, should call himself using this least but universal title for a human being, how could you call yourself?
If the King of Kings, Jesus of Nazareth, should call himself using this least but universal title for a human being, how could you call yourself before Him?
Without inviting wrath of God, you might say, "I am zero before the infinite that is you, sir, Christ, the Son of God."
SECTION I: "0" Having Universal Freedom
President Mr. Barack Obama alluded to value of universal freedom in a Q&A session with young people in Shanghai, China, while some Chinese youths wanted to know what education would make and build a man like Mr. Obama who could win the Nobel Peace Prize (Oh My God!).
Yet, the universal freedom and liberty are linked with existence of "0" and the infinite.
Nonetheless, it is neither ancient Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, Romans or early Christians, nor Middle Ages' Europeans or early Muslims that could define "0" and its arithmetic operational rules.
It is the 9th century Indians:
----------
The concept of zero as a number and not merely a symbol for separation is attributed to India where by the 9th century CE practical calculations were carried out using zero, which was treated like any other number, even in case of division.

----------
However, those Indians defined "0" divided by "0" as "0."
0/0 = 0
As division means obtaining a ratio of two numbers or quantities, it cannot be "0" in the above case, since "0" is equal to "0."
The ratio of the two identical entities is "1."
Accordingly, sound mathematics should admit that 0/0 = 1.
So, conceptually, as the two Infinities are identical, their ratio must be one.
1= Infinity/Infinity
Finally, 0/0 = Infinity/Infinity = 1/1 = 2/2 = 3/3 =...
It is so, since the God is one and all.
SECTION II: CHRISTIANITY AND MONEY
It is said that Michael Ende (1929-1995), a German writer of fantasy and children's literature including The Neverending Story, once wrote that he had written and sent letters to ten economists asking what money was.

He received ten different answers from ten economists as to what money was.
Accordingly, he proposed a new money system in 1994 as he was interviewed at his home by the Japanese public NHK-TV broadcasting organization.
(http://www.grsj.org/report/report/endenoyuigonsinario.html)
Michael Ende said in my interpretation: "You will surely find a shrine, a temple, a synagogue, a church, or a mosque in the center of an old village, an old town, or an old city anywhere in the world. But today, you will only see big business buildings, tall business buildings, gigantic business buildings, and huge business buildings in any financial center in the world. People regard money as God nowadays..."
Michael Ende claimed that money is the only pure artificial matter any part of or the whole of which does not exist in the nature.
As money is digital data in computers nowadays, his claim might be reasonable.
Money does not lose its face value forever, challenging the rule of infinity.
Yet, the words of Jesus Christ never lose the very value, surpassing the rule of infinity.
Indeed, Christians, if losing faith in Jesus Christ, can be good handlers of money.

The other day a sales worker of a cable-TV provider told me that I had better convert to digital broadcasting.
I told her some complaints about a management policy of the company, since they are now forsaking analog-channel viewers.
As she was very compassionate for those poor or innocent analog-channel viewers, I consented to move to digital with my TV set by paying some two-dollars more per month.
In Japan, so far as I know, there are no religious channels, for whatever religion, commercially and openly broadcast to general public and consumers on a viewing fee base, though such business is not banned or outlawed by the Constitution.
Mat 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
Mat 11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
Mat 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
Mat 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
