Why is it significant that Jesus calls Himself the Son of Man?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' designation as the Son of Man highlights His unique role in redemption and His full participation in humanity.

The title 'Son of Man' is significant in Christology because it emphasizes both the humanity and the mission of Jesus. While He is certainly the divine Son of God, referring to Himself primarily as the Son of Man illustrates His humble incarnation and the essence of His redemptive work. This title reflects the prophetic connections and fulfills Old Testament expectations, particularly in establishing the link between humanity and divinity through His sacrificial death. Notably, it asserts His role as a representative figure for humanity, who embodies the perfect kinsman-redeemer. Thus, it is not merely a statement about His nature but a profound declaration of His purpose to redeem those who believe.
