Son of God, Son of Man

Lesson Summary
During the November 19, 2023 class, Teacher Richard Sutton presented a detailed examination of the title "Son of Man," emphasizing its prominence in Jesus’ own self‑identification compared with other Christological titles. He traced the Old Testament roots of the phrase, noting its 103 occurrences and its dual meaning: a poetic reference to humanity and a prophetic identifier of the Messiah, especially in Daniel 7:13. Sutton then linked the title to New Testament usage, referencing passages like Matthew 16:13‑14 and John 8:58, and contrasted it with titles such as "Son of God," "Lamb of God" (John 1:29), "Alpha and Omega" (Revelation 22:13), and "Emmanuel" (Matthew 1:23). The class underscored how each title reveals a different facet of Christ’s identity and mission.
