How do we know that Jesus is the Messiah as the Son of Man?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is affirmed as the Messiah through His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and His unique identity.

The affirmation of Jesus as the Messiah hinges on His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies that proclaim the coming of a Savior who would suffer and yet reign eternally. In passages like Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, we see prophetic insights into a suffering servant who is ultimately vindicated, illustrating how Jesus, as the Son of Man, embodies these prophecies. The question posed in John 12:34 by the Jews reflects a misunderstanding of these scriptures, as they expected a conqueror rather than a suffering Messiah. However, the New Testament writers and Jesus Himself interpret these prophetic texts to reveal that His death was not an end, but a necessary step towards His glorification and the establishment of His everlasting kingdom. Thus, the reality of Jesus as the Son of Man solidifies His identity as the true Messiah, fulfilling both the suffering and reigning aspects of His ministry.
