Bible Question: Why Do u think Jesus used the phrase the son of man in Matt 16:13 |
Bible Answer: Dear pastor, welcome to the forum! Jesus uses the title "Son of Man," identifying Himself with the prophet that used this phrase the most: Ezekiel. It is a title associated with judgement and redemption by a Holy God. By the way, it was a title that God coined Himself (Ezekiel 2:1). This is the first place in the Bible that it used in as an epithet. |
