Jesus has many majestic names: King of Kings, Messiah, High Priest. Yet one we find dozens of times throughout the Gospels is Son of Man. It literally means “human being.” But the Son of Man we see in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John is no mere human. It’s the Lord Jesus, the Son of God in human form. We begin ...
