Son

 

Son of God       

As Son of God He was given.[i]

As Son of God He gives life.[ii]

As Son of God He quickens.[iii]

 

Son of man       

As Son of man He came.[iv]

As Son of man He exercises judgment.[v]

As Son of man He will judge.[vi]

As Son of man, He has been dishonoured and rejected by men; therefore all judgment is committed into His hands, in order “that all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.”[vii]

This title Son of man, which Jesus always takes, goes a great way further than that of Messiah. It is taken from Psalm 8 and Daniel 7; Jesus always takes it in contrast with that of “Christ,”which He only gives Himself once, that is, at Sychar, in chapter 4 (John); but He constantly adds to it His death upon the cross.[viii]
