The Son of Man

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

Jesus came to save the lost. Why does he refer to himself as the Son of Man? This was a title given to the Jewish Messiah as described in Daniel. 

 Dan 7:13  “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 

Dan 7:14  And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. 

Jesus spoke that he came from heaven and not earth as was Adam.

Joh 6:38  For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. 

Jesus was sent from heaven by God the Father, the Ancient of Days. " and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” (Mat 3:17)

Jesus, the Son of Man is King of kings and Lord of Lords. (Rev 19:16) The title gives to Jesus absolute power and dominion.

The Son of Man is the Son of the Most High God.
