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.
As I continued watching in my vision that I had that night I saw one like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory, and the power to rule over all people, the different nations and languages, so they would all worship him. His rule is everlasting—it will never cease, and his kingdom will never be destroyed.
and standing among the candlesticks was someone who looked like a Son of man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet with a golden sash across his chest.
I looked and I saw a white cloud. Sitting on the cloud was someone that looked like the Son of man, wearing a golden crown on his head and holding a sharp sickle in his hand.
"Look," he said, "I see heaven open, and the Son of Man standing at God’s right hand."
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.
"The one who sows the good seed is the Son of man," Jesus explained.
"In the same way Jonah was in the belly of a huge fish for three days and three nights, the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
As they were walking together through Galilee, Jesus told them, "The Son of man is going to be betrayed and people will have power over him.
You also need to be ready, because the Son of man is coming at a time when you’re not expecting him.
But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his majestic throne.
because he was teaching his disciples. "The Son of man will be betrayed to human authorities," he told them. "They will kill him, but three days later he will rise again."
For even the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
However, I will prove to you that the Son of man has the authority here on earth to forgive sins." Then he said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you: Get up, pick up your mat, and go home."
Jesus told the man, "Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man doesn’t even have a place to rest his head."
The day when the Son of man comes will be just like lightning that flashes, lighting up the sky from one side to the other.
Glória e autoridade
Quando o Filho do Homem for levantado, atrairá todos a si. Ele é plenamente humano e plenamente divino.
So Jesus explained to them: "When you have lifted up the Son of man then you’ll know that I am the ‘I am,’ and that I do nothing of myself, but only say what the Father taught me.
Then Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of man."
But as it’s been said, "What are human beings that you should worry about them? What is a son of man that you should care about him?
