Here is something I wish I had written:

"Is Jesus the "son of Joseph, whose mother and father we know?" Or is he the one who has "come down from heaven?" In Sunday's gospel lesson (John 6:35, 41-51) we read that that was a question on the minds of the crowd who was following him, trying to understand his confusing, other-worldly preaching. I'll suggest, however, that it's a question for today, too. Who is Jesus? Is he a purely historical figure--the archaeologically verifiable Jesus of Nazareth who was the focus of the Jesus Seminar and whose legend grew as the faithful shared increasingly exaggerated stories about their master? Or is he really and truly the Jesus of the gospel--the one who "was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary?""
