Son Of Man

John 3:12-13 – I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.

Acts 2:34-35 – For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

Mark 8:31 – He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.

Luke 19:10 – For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Application:

• ·         Not only was David’s descendant to be resurrected but He was also to be exalted to God’s right hand.
• ·         “Son of Man” was Jesus’ most common title for Himself, used 81 times in the Gospels and never used by anyone but Jesus there. The Son of Man is pictured as a heavenly figure who in the end times is entrusted by God with authority, glory and sovereign power. The Son of Man must suffer, as predicted.
• ·         “Son of Man” was a Messianic title.
