  1. THE SON Lesson 2 for July 12, 2014

  2. THE SON OF MAN “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.” (Matthew 18:11) Jesus called Himself “Son of Man.” In the Old Testament, that term was related to human beings. GodcalledbothEzekiel and Daniel “Son of Man.” Jesus is also introduced as the “Son of Man” in the book of Daniel (Daniel 7:13; 10:16). Jesus wanted to highlight that He was completely human. God joined the human family by being born as a man.

  3. THE SON OF MAN “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.” (Daniel 7:13) Jesus never called Himself “Messiah.” Nevertheless, He used the expression “Son of Man” so we could easily connect His work to the messianic mission, like in Daniel 7:13. “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Matthew 24:30) “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.” (Matthew 25:31) “Jesus said to him, ‘It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.’” (Matthew 26:64)

  4. THE MISSION OF CHRIST • MAN • JESUS “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10) • He lost his relationship with God • He restored our relationship with the Father (John 1:51) Jesus came to restore what man had lost in Eden. • He lost his holiness He forgives our sins and teaches us how to live our lives (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 2:21) • He lost his home • He is preparing a place for us (John 14:1-3) • He lost the eternal life He gives us eternal life (John 3:16)

  5. “The great condescension on the part of God is a mystery beyond our fathoming. The greatness of the plan cannot be fully comprehended, nor could infinite wisdom devise a plan that would surpass it. It could be successful only by... Christ becoming man, and suffering the wrath which sin has made because of the transgression of God’s law. Through this plan the great, the dreadful God can be just, and yet be the justifier of all who believe in Jesus, and who receive Him as their personal Saviour. This is the heavenly science of redemption, of saving men from eternal ruin.” E.G.W. (God’s Amazing Grace, June 2)

  6. THE SON OF GOD “But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.” (John 20:31) Both angels and men asserted that Jesus is the Son of God. • Gabriel. Luke 1:35. • John the Baptist. John 1:34. • Nathanael. John 1:49. • The disciples. Mathew 14:33. • Martha. John 11:27. The Jews understood that Jesus was declaring Himself God when using that title: “…Do you say… ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?” (John 10:36; see John 10:33) • The complete unity of Jesus and the Father includes a mutual and perfect knowledge of Each Other: a unity of will, purpose, and objectives. Moreover, it includes a unity of nature. The Son and the Father are Two Persons but of the same nature (“I and the Father are one.” John 10:30)

  7. “The Jews answered Him, saying, ‘For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.’” (John 10:33) THE DIVINITY OF JESUS Jesus gradually unveiled His divinity during His ministry.

  8. “At the Saviour’s baptism, Satan was among the witnesses. He saw the Father’s glory overshadowing His Son. He heard the voice of Jehovah testifying to the divinity of Jesus. Ever since Adam’s sin, the human race had been cut off from direct communion with God; the intercourse between heaven and earth had been through Christ; but now that Jesus had come “in the likeness of sinful flesh” (Romans 8:3), the Father Himself spoke. He had before communicated with humanity through Christ; now He communicated with humanity in Christ.” E.G.W. (The Desire of Ages, cp. 12, pg. 116)
