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

Answered in 2 sources

The Son of Man is crucial as it embodies Christ's sacrificial role and His connection to humanity.

Understanding the concept of the Son of Man is vital for Christians as it encapsulates Christ's mission and His embodiment of the human experience. His title reflects His willingness to identify with human suffering and His role as a mediator between God and man. For instance, Luke 19:10 tells us of His mission to 'seek and to save that which was lost,' highlighting the significance of His redemptive work. Moreover, through His humanity, Christ provided a perfect model of obedience and submission to God's will. The incarnation of the Son of Man serves to reassure believers of God's intimate involvement in human affairs and His desire to save. Thus, the doctrine encourages Christians to relate to God not only as a distant deity but as one who personally experiences our struggles and offers salvation.
