Son of God ... Son of Man
Just a Thought... did Jesus do things as Son of God or Son of Man while He was here on earth?
Matt 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
He called himself the "son of man" often... maybe so He could also say:
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
We seem to have difficulty in identifying with Him as a Son of God. WE are so connected to this world and our earthly heritage that we forget that we are not only "son of Man", but sons of God, as well.
We see Him as high and lifted up, seated upon a throne, far above all power, principality, ruler, might and dominion... holy, righteous... full of glory... full of power... full of love
I Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Matt 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
