The Son Of Man
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
In the four “Gospel” records, the Lord Jesus Christ refers to Himself about eighty times as “the son of Man”.
This title is based upon a passage in Daniel’s prophecy in which
“dominion, and glory, and a kingdom” are given unto one who appeared as
“the Son of Man” (Dan.7:13, 14). This kingdom, says the passage, “shall
not pass away, and … shall not be destroyed.”
As
the term “Son of God” speaks of our Lord’s deity and the term “Son of
David” emphasizes His title as King of Israel, so the term “Son of Man”
identifies Him as the representative of mankind in general.
It is as “Son of Man” that He will reign as King of the world, as “King of kings”as we have seen above. It is also as “Son of Man” that He will judge the nations just before His kingdom reign:
“When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: and before Him will be gathered all nations” (Matthew 25: 31,32).
As Son of man He will also be the Judge at the final judgment at the Great White Throne (Rev.20:11-15).
“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son… because He is the Son of man” (John 5:22,27).
Surely
God could not be more just in His dealings with mankind. But best of
all it is as Son of man that our Lord represented us at Calvary, paying
the penalty for our sins that He might deliver us from the judgment to
come. “For the Son of man came…to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). In “due time” the Apostle Paul was raised up to proclaim the glad news that the great Mediator had given Himself “a ransom for ALL” (I Timothy 2:6).
