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.
During this vision in the night, I saw what looked like a human being. He was approaching me, surrounded by clouds, and he went to the one who had been living forever and was presented to him. He was given authority, honor, and royal power, so that the people of all nations, races, and languages would serve him. His authority would last forever, and his kingdom would never end.
and among them there was what looked like a human being, wearing a robe that reached to his feet, and a gold band around his chest.
The Harvest of the Earth
Then I looked, and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was what looked like a human being, with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.
"Look!" he said. "I see heaven opened and the Son of Man standing at the right side 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.
Jesus answered, "The man who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man;
In the same way that Jonah spent three days and nights in the big fish, so will the Son of Man spend three days and nights in the depths of the earth.
Jesus Speaks Again about His Death

"When the Son of Man comes as King and all the angels with him, he will sit on his royal throne,
because he was teaching his disciples: "The Son of Man will be handed over to those who will kill him. Three days later, however, he will rise to life."
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served; he came to serve and to give his life to redeem many people."
I will prove to you, then, that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." So he said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, pick up your bed, and go home!"
Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lie down and rest."
As the lightning flashes across the sky and lights it up 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 he said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, you will know that ‘I Am Who I Am’; then you will know that I do nothing on my own authority, but I say only what the Father has instructed me to say.
And he said to them, "I am telling you the truth: you will see heaven open and God’s angels going up and coming down on the Son of Man."
Instead, as it is said somewhere in the Scriptures:
"What are human beings, O God, that you should think of them;
mere human beings, that you should care for them?
