Why is the concept of Jesus as the Son of Man important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus, as the Son of Man, emphasizes His humanity and connection to our struggles and salvation.

The title 'Son of Man' is significant in Christian theology as it underscores not only the humanity of Jesus but also His mission to redeem humanity. In Luke 19:10, Jesus states that He came to 'seek and to save that which was lost.' This role reflects His identification with our struggles, sufferings, and temptations, making Him a compassionate High Priest who understands the human condition. His humanity is essential for His atoning work — He must be able to identify with us in our frailty while also being without sin to be our perfect substitute. Thus, the dual nature of Christ as both Son of God and Son of Man is foundational to salvation, as it satisfies the requirements of justice and love in God’s redemptive plan.
