Isaiah 2:1-5Romans 13:11-14Matthew 24:37*44

de ar PAD Rf,

41 Wtry doaJaus refer to himself as the Son of Man? WhatY!I/ does tlte title mean?

A Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man sevenry-six'CL times in the Gospels, so it's clearly one of his favorite

titles. When people call him the Messiah, Jesus oftencorrects them by calling himself the Son of Man.

That title has at least three meanings: the Son of Man inall his humanity, the su{fering Son ofMan, and the Son ofMan who will come again.

Jesus uses the title to stress his true humanity andidentify with us. Jesus as Son of Man must suffer and die.

Every time Jesus prophesies about his death, it is as theSon of Man. Jesus connects the title with his passion and

death, linking it to Isaiah 53, the great Song of theSuffering Servant.

The Son of Man is God's powerful representative(Daniel 7:13) coming to establish the kingdom of God.The Son of Man suffers, dies, and rises to establish thekingdom of God.

That one title Som of Man summarizes much of Jesus'work of redemption: He became fully human, sufferingand dying to establish the kingdom of God.
