The Son of Man

John 5: 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. 

Here we see Jesus relationship with the Father. How intimate it is that the Father gave him the authority to judge.



 But what does "Son of Man" mean? This does not mean that Jesus was son of Joseph the husband of Mary who conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Let's read the book of  Daniel 7: 13-14 to help us understand why Jesus has this title being the "Son of Man".


13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

Jesus was obviously fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel when he said in John 5: 27 "The Father has given Him the authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. Meaning He was the one in Daniel's vision. How amazing, isn't it?

When Daniel saw "like a son of man" he was seeing Jesus in his vision. Interesting, Jesus existence in the old testament. 

And friends, if you will continue to read  verse 14, it humbles me personally. Knowing I have a powerful God, that all nations and peoples of every language worshipped Him according to Daniel. And that  Apostle Paul agrees on in Philippians 2:10 when he said " that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth".

So friends, Son of Man means that Jesus has the authority to govern with the power and glory. That all nations regardless of what language will worship Him. And His kingdom will reign forever and ever. No one and will not be destroyed. 

So what we are going to do now. Since we have Jesus that has the power and authority and kingdom that no one can destroy but will last forever.  Simply, we have to keep trusting Him, not giving up. For He is always there for us in times of needs or difficulties. We may fail, but He is there to intercedes us to the Father.

The Life We Ought To Be.

If there is one thing that you love most in you life, what is it? John 5:13-15 The verses below was about the invalid man for 38-years  whom Jesus healed. It was Jesus who offered the healing for him.  13 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there. 14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well. In all the things in the world. It was the "sin" that Jesus was telling him to stop. Jesus said to him "... Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” Does it mean he's gonna be invalid or disable again? I don't think so. This means that sin in our lives does not have a good result. Jesus was telling him that if he keeps on sinning it's going to ruin his spiritual life. See friends, Jesus was not only helpin...

What are your New Year's resolution?

I'm pretty sure we have New Year's resolution in our bucket list for the year 2018. We've been accustomed to have one. But are we going to really follow all of them? It's been common for most us to make a list of our New Year's resolution but we cannot deny the fact that we failed to follow them.  In these verses below, Paul explained the reason why we all fail.   “There is no one righteous, not even one;  there is no one who understands;  there is no one who seeks God.  All have turned away, they have together become worthless;  there is no one who does good,not even one.”  Romans 3:10-12. These verses simply means regardless of what religion you have or you belongs to. You are dead in the eyes of God. There are no exceptions.  Now, since there is no one is righteous that means no one can see God. That's why Christ died for our sins so we'll have access to God through Him. He is only perfect man who is God by nature who...
