Good evening everyone,
Why did Jesus call himself son of man? It was important or else He would not have been so consistent with it.
The Lord gave man dominion over the earth in Genesis 1. He never took it back. Because the only beings with authority in the earth were men, Jesus had to be born a man, not God. He had to operate in the earth like we do or else satan would have a legal argument against Him. Since Adam, a man, handed the authority to the devil, a man had to get it back.
When the demons were screaming out that He was the Holy one of God, they were not trying to glorify Him, they were accusing Him of being on the earth without legal right. Of course, He did not need to argue. He told them to shut up and come out. He had to be like us in every way. Only a human could speak with authority on the earth. Only a human anointed with the Holy Spirit would have the power to carry out the authority that man has. Only a fully tempted, fully sinless, human could pay the price for our sins. He had to be the Son of Adam (greek). So He was son of man. He became man.
Now the bible says as He is, so are we in this world. We are now fully human with the authority of the son of man. We are anointed with the same power. We are as sinless and righteous as He is, because of His blood. We have everything He had, because He bought it for us. Now He wants us to be sons of man, carrying out His perfect will on the earth through the power of the Holy Spirit. How cool is that? Bringing in lost sons of men. So, let’s get out there and bring them in!!
I love you all.
healed by His stripes,
