Bible Question: Would someone please explain why Jesus is called the son of man? |
Bible Answer: welcome pgs, First you must understand exactly who Jesus is. Jesus is, was, God in the flesh. What you read in the scriptures about Jesus is really about God the Father. Jesus is the Word of the Father. The Father is the all, immutable power of the entire time-line, creator, and author of everything that has ever been or will ever be. Jesus is that part of God that was manifested to men. If you read about Jesus, you are reading about the Father. The Father is He that is in control of all things. God is Spirit. Jesus was flesh. Jesus is that part of God until He took upon Himself flesh, then He became Jesus. Jesus said, what I speak is that which I have heard from the Father. Jesus is the Word of the Father. Jesus is the Flesh into which we can see the characteristics of the Father. We see the Father by what we see in Jesus. Did He condemn? Did He kill? Did He inflict injury? Answer this: What was the purpose for God to come to Earth? God came to Earth to let man know that he had a friend in the heavens that was in love with His creation and that He would not let them go until they understood what He expected of them and that men might know Him. He gave us the choice to select good or evil. The “son of man” was born of simple man; He was debased by a simple and lowly place of birth, a stable, and a simple life, a carpenter. He was not anything special. Isaiah tells us that He was not a good-looking man that anyone should desire Him. (Isa 53:2) For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He came to us as any other man. We would not know Him from any other man walking down the street. He did not display Himself (no ego). Time and time again He asked for no recognition. As being called the “son of man”, He was the lowliest of the lowly. Born in a stable by a couple that was being scrutinized as having sex before marriage and surely the talk of the town. Son of man was the son of any ordinary couple, and the son of any one that loves God. The son of man that will and would take upon Himself to be obedient to the God that He was raised to believe in and had faith in, as a human. Even though He was God He took upon Himself the ordinary, the susceptible human traits that we have. (Heb 2:16) For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. He took upon Himself the seed of a man, the seed of the promise (Abraham). The promise being that in a simple man that Loved and listened to the Father and did the will of the Father no matter what, He was willing to do the same because of His love for the Father and His love for the creation of man and man himself. (Rev 3:12) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. May the light of God lead you! |
