Why is Jesus called the Son of Man?

I'm wondering why the Lord called himself the Son of Man, and I know the general

answer is to accentuate his humanity, that he was

fully man, but in actuality, he was the son of a woman, but

not the son of a man, not biologically.

Just any thoughts you have on that?

Yeah, well, that's often what you hear, that, you know, Son of God means he's the Son of

God, and Son of Man, that's emphasizing Christ's humanity, and that would

make sense, but really, the Son of Man, if you study it, it's a messianic

title, because Daniel actually talks about, you know, one like the Son of Man,

you know, coming in the clouds of heaven and go to the Ancient of Days.

So actually, Son of Man speaks of Christ's deity as well.

But then we just saw, was there a prophet or a king that was called the Son of Man?

Yeah, Ezekiel was called the Son of Man, and, you know, how much we

want to make of that, I don't know, but.

Just another, I guess it's just a human being.

Yeah, was Ezekiel the Son of Man?

Yeah, sure.

Sure.

Was Jesus the Son of Man?

Yeah, but he was also the, yeah, he was also the Son of God.

So, all right, we're in the book of, does anyone have any insight on this?

Does anyone want to address this subject?

I suppose we were all in Adam somehow.

But I want, let's turn to Daniel chapter 7, just since you brought it up.

The Son of Man is a messianic title.

So Daniel chapter 7, verse 12

says,.

And for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a

season and a time.

And I, Daniel, was watching in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of Man, coming

with the clouds of heaven, he came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before

him.

To him, the Son of Man, was given dominion and glory in a kingdom

that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him.

His dominion was an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom, the

one which shall not be destroyed.

So who's that a reference to?

Obviously, it's a reference to Christ.

So because Ezekiel is called the Son of Man and Jesus is called, you know, it's just the way

that I'm sure you could study that and find some more information.

But Son of Man is a reference also to Christ.
