Hey, this is Tim at the Bible Project.

We've been exploring one of the most important titles that Jesus of Nazareth called himself

in the New Testament, the Son of Man.

Jesus, he's most often called Christ or Messiah by his followers, but he most often used this

phrase, the Son of Man.

This is episode seven of a conversation that John and I have been having.

In episodes one through six, we saw why Jesus chose this phrase for himself, the story

of the Son of Man is the story about humanity, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Humans are meant to rule the world as God's image, but they end up being ruled by a beast

and then start acting like beasts.

This phrase, Son of Man, it all gets brought together in this symbolic dream found in the

book of Daniel, chapter seven, and there we find a hope that one day God will exalt

a Son of Man to rule the world from a divine throne someone will bring order and God's

kingdom to the world of beastly chaos.

So now in this conversation, we finally get to Jesus.

In this episode, John and I are going to focus on the story of Jesus being tested by the

Satan in the wilderness.

We're going to talk about how Jesus is portrayed there as a new Adam and as a new Israel.

We also have a really long conversation about the phrase Son of God and how that's connected

to the Son of Man.

As always, lots of reflection on Genesis, one, two, and three, and Monty Python even makes

an appearance.
