Hey, this is Tim at the Bible Project.

This is the final episode of John and I's conversation about the son of man.

This was a phrase that was G.S.'s favorite title to describe himself, and in all the episodes

up to this one, John and I have been exploring this theme and how it develops throughout

the whole biblical story, the son of man, from Genesis 1 all the way up to Daniel chapter

7.

In the last episode, we talked about how the New Testament Gospels portray Jesus as a son

of man that is as a new Adam.

Except this Adam doesn't give in to evil.

He doesn't try to grab at power and influence.

Rather, he overcomes the temptation in the wilderness and then moves out to launch God's

kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven.

So in this episode, John and I are going to talk about some of the different teachings

of Jesus where he actually uses this phrase, the son of man, and if you track with what

Jesus says about the son of man, you could see patterns.

These are well-known stories about Jesus forgiving people sins, how he picked grain with

his disciples on the Sabbath, the story of his trial before the high priest, and when

you focus in on why Jesus calls himself the son of man at just these moments, all this

new light gets shed on these familiar stories and the saying of Jesus.

So there you go.

I'll let the conversation speak for itself.
