“But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.”
Luke 5:24 KJV
Jesus said, “To prove to you all that I, the Son of Man, have the lawful authority on earth to forgive sins, I say to you now, stand up! Carry your stretcher and go on home, for you are healed.” Jesus refers to Himself as the Son of Man many times. Daniel had a vision where he saw the Ancient of Days and walking before the Ancient of Days was One like the Son of Man Who would be given the right to judge the world. “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him.” Calling Himself the Son of Man was Jesus’s claim to heavenly authority. It was more of an exalted and heavenly concept than being a human, the “son of a man.” When Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, Am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Let that be our confession that Jesus, the Son of Man is the Son of God. Amen!
