How does Jesus being the Son of Man relate to His authority?

Answered in 1 source

As the Son of Man, Jesus has been given authority to execute judgment and forgive sins, displaying His divine power.

Jesus' authority as the Son of Man is multi-faceted, illustrating His right to judge and to forgive sins. His dual nature allows Him to act on behalf of humanity while simultaneously exercising authority connected to His divine identity. For instance, in the Gospel accounts, Jesus performs miracles and forgives sins, emphasizing His power as both God and representative of mankind. This establishes His right to administer God's justice and grace. Through the perspective of sovereign grace, believers understand that Jesus' authority provides assurance of salvation, revealing God's sovereign choice to redeem His people through the work of the Son of Man.
