How does Jesus' role as 'Son of Man' relate to the ransom?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus as the 'Son of Man' indicates His ability to identify with humanity and to be the sacrificial ransom (Philippians 2:5-8).

The title 'Son of Man' carries deep theological significance in relation to Jesus' mission as the Redeemer. In Philippians 2:5-8, we see that Jesus, though being in the form of God, willingly took on human likeness and humbled Himself. This duality is essential for His work as our ransom; as God, He possesses the holiness and merit required to appease divine justice, and as man, He can suffer and die as our substitute. Such identification makes Him the perfect mediator, capable of truly atoning for human sin. The 'Son of Man' therefore signifies not only His humility and servanthood but also establishes the foundation for the ransom, underscoring that without His human experience, His redemptive purpose would be incomplete.
