JesusThe Son of God Walking as The Son of Man
Jesus referred to Himself over 80 times as The Son of Man, and
rarely as The Son of God. When
He did it was usually in the third person. He definitely is,
was, and always has been The Son ofGod, but He walked on earth as
The Son of Man.
He became The Son of Man in the incarnation; God becoming flesh
and walking as a son ofman (like us), but with one big difference.
The Son of Man (Jesus) was, is, and always will be
sinless; a son of man (mankind) is fallen. He walked as we walk
so that we can walk as He
walked. This is the mystery of the Gospel miraclesGods power in
this world comes through afaith in God, made possible through the
work of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said to them, Have faith in God! I can guarantee this
truth: This is what will be done for
someone who doesnt doubt but believes what he says will happen:
He can say to this mountain,Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,
and it will be done for him. Thats why I tell you to have
faith that you have already received whatever you pray for, and
it will be yours. Mark 11:22, 23,
24 Gods Word Translation
We have access to this authority only within the confines of the
Word of God, and only throughthe use of His Name. When we are born
from above, and His Spirit is placed within us, we are
again able to walk as The Son of Man in this realm, and do His
works. We do not become The
Son of Man, but rather we are given the privileged ability to
walk in His authorityas long as
we do His works.
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, All authority has
been given to Me in heaven
and on earth. Mat 28:18
Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father
may be glorified in the Son. Ifyou ask Me anything in My name, I
will do it.. John 14:13, 14
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you
wish, and it will be done foryou. My Father is glorified by this,
that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.
John 15:7, 8
In this, the sacrificial work of the second Adam (Jesus, I
Corinthians 15:45, 46, 47) has
regained for mankind the position lost by the sin of the first
Adam. We can now walk as Gods
stewards in this world, having been recreated back into His
image. The Son of God can now
legally empower a son of man to act in His stead and do the will
of God the Father. In this God is
glorified. In this, the Holy God is both a loving God as well as
a just God.
As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the
world. For their sakes I sanctify
Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. I
do not ask on behalf of these
alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;
that they may all be one; even as
You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in
Us, so that the world may believethat You sent Me. John 17:18, 19,
20, 21
