The Son of Man isn’t associated with the chosen one who is the rightful heir and firstborn. He identifies with those marginalized, left out, and rejected. Then, he refuses to be denied and rejected.
Why does he do this? It’s because he believes in the truth of universal salvation or universal selection. All will enter into new life in the new world - none left behind.
However, in order for this to all play out as it’s written, the SoM must make sure he remains in the position of rejection. He must stay on guard against both his own impulses as well as the danger of social support which tries to elevate him out of that lowly position.
At the same time, universality includes those who view themselves as chosen, too. The SoM must identify with and become a right-hand-man for them, guiding them to their royal position in the kingdom as heirs.
In this way, the SoM keeps one foot in both the bottom and top of the hierarchy, while never forgetting his core identity as the rejected one.
