サマリー
あらすじ・解説
One of the reasons Jesus called himself the Son of Man is the name’s vagueness. The title can simply mean “human”; this is the way the prophet Ezekiel seems to be using it during the many times he refers to himself in this way.
There is no possible way this seemingly innocuous usage could land Jesus in trouble with the authorities. But on the other hand, the title “Son of Man” probably mainly refers to a very important prophecy in Daniel 7, where one “like a son of man” comes and stands before God, and God gives him dominion and power so that all the nations serve him - a kingdom that will never pass away.
This strange personage is a human (“like a son of man”) but is also worshiped (“all peoples…should serve him”). Jesus knows that he is truly human, but he uses the title Son of Man to emphasize that he is more than that - he is also the one true God who is worthy of worship.
