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

The title 'Son of Man' is significant within Scripture, appearing frequently in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Gospel of Matthew, this is the first instance of the term, highlighting the importance of Jesus' incarnation. The phrase reflects Jesus' condescension and His identity as both divine and human. In Philippians 2:5-11, we are reminded of His humility in taking on human flesh to fulfill God’s redemptive plan. Additionally, Jesus Himself affirms His identity in various contexts, indicating that He is indeed the promised Messiah who entered the world as a man to suffer and redeem His people.
