Being a Christian, I've been considering prepositions in how they must be used linguistically for correct understanding.  In introducing a person, place, or thing, the preposition "a" must first be used to introduce it as a stranger.  Afterwards, the person, place, or thing can then be described with the more personal "the."

Example:
A boy went past (with this being an independent clause and a complete sentence with a subject noun and a predicate verb) on a bicycle (with this being a dependent clause).
In other words, I shouldn't say "A boy on a bicycle . . .."; but, rather, I should think in terms of "On a bicycle, a boy went past."

Now that this has been established, allow me to shine a little light on something I think is very important.

If I were the very lowest son of man among the people, the offspring of the most worthless for example, I would tend to view everyone as greater than myself.  As a result of viewing all as God, I wouldn't ever classify a person with the impersonal preposition "a."

See, I'm thinking here about His usage of the prepositions thee, thou, thine and thy.

While one must introduce a person, place, or thing, or even a single god if such is among a godhood with the impersonal preposition "a," the correct way to introduce the existence of one God is always with the formal and personal preposition "the" as "The God," or just "God."  

The reason Jesus would use such prepositions as "thee, thou, thine, and thy," a reason which might have been lost in history is, perhaps, for the reason He is the Son of man, the least One of the very least, or the Offspring of the most worthless.

To play the part of the Father, Jesus during the time of His three year *ministry chose twelve disciples randomly to serve as His sons.  Before commenting more on this subject, I'm going to have to read up a bit.

Let me just say that, after the last supper, the disciples had already been elevated to the status of Apostles when they were with the Lord in the garden of Gethsemane.  The reason for this is because Jesus had already Willed Himself existentially into mankind as His purpose by the breaking of Himself into bread and by the shedding of His blood as wine.  The significance here is even after they were elevated as apostles, the former disciples still couldn't perceive the Lord Jesus Christ as the very least Son of man.

*While by Jewish law He would have to minister, in the true meaning of the word, the power of the Holy Spirit is only given to serve.  I might be wrong about all this actually.  I just find it interesting.
