Filho do homem
Filho do Homem é o título que Jesus mais usou para si mesmo. Ele conecta sua humanidade plena com a visão profética de Daniel sobre o Messias glorioso que receberá domínio eterno.
A profecia de Daniel
Daniel viu alguém como o Filho do Homem vindo com as nuvens do céu. Foi-lhe dado domínio, glória e reino eterno.
"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.
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.
and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest.
Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.
And he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
Jesus, o Filho do Homem
O Filho do Homem veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido. Ele tem autoridade para perdoar pecados e julgar.
He answered, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men,
Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise."
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"—he said to the man who was paralyzed—"I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home."
And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
Glória e autoridade
Quando o Filho do Homem for levantado, atrairá todos a si. Ele é plenamente humano e plenamente divino.
So Jesus said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.
And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you,you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
It has been testified somewhere,
"What is man, that you are mindful of him,
or the son of man, that you care for him?
