Jesus, Son of Man

Mark 8:27-31; Daniel 7:1-14

About the Sermon

In the last sermon we heard that Jesus’ incarnation was necessary for our salvation; he had to be human in order to rescue us. But when Jesus calls himself “Son of Man,” isn’t he just saying the same thing—that he was human? Why did Jesus choose that title for himself? Why does it matter to us that Jesus is the “Son of Man”? In this sermon, Pastor Abe Stratton will lead us in a study of Daniel 7 in order to search out these questions. There we will find a new understanding of the “Son of Man.”

About the Series

In Mark 8, the Apostle Peter correctly identifies Jesus with the famous words, “You are the Christ” (8:29). Peter believed Jesus was the Christ promised in the Old Testament Scriptures. But Peter did not fully understand the mission of the Messiah, who would come to suffer for his people. In this short series, we draw from Old Testament Scriptures to explore the fullness of that confession, a confession on which the church of the Lord Jesus is built.
