Luke 19:10 (NKJV)
“for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Son of man
Jesus referring to Himself as Son of Man just as our Lord throughout the Bible designates Himself about 80 times in all as the Son of Man indicating that the Old Testament prophesies and Genesis’s own fore view will come to fruition through Jesus Christ our Savior who came to look for the lost.
Ezekiel 2:1 God spoke to Ezekiel and told him “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you,” when sending him to the rebellious people of Israel. Son of Man is His racial name as the representative Man, as Adam was the first man then Jesus was the Man from heaven in the sense of 1 Corinthians 15:45-47, Son of David is distinctly his Jewish name, and Son of God His divine name. Our Lord constantly uses this term as his mission is described in Matthew 11:19 and Luke 19:10. His death and resurrection in Matthew 12:40; 20:18; 26:2 and His second coming in Matthew 24:37-44; and Luke 12:40 transcended in scope and result. When Nathanael confesses him as "King of Israel," our Lord's answer is, "Thou shalt see greater things. . . the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man." When His messengers are cast out by the Jews, His thought leaps forward to the time when the Son of man shall come, not then to Israel only but to the entire race ; Matthew 10:5 Matthew 10:6 ; 8:23 . It is in this name, also, that universal judgment is committed to Him John 5:22 John 5:27. It is also a name indicating that in Him the predictions and prophesies of the blessing that mankind will receive through a coming man who would be the Savior in Genesis 1:26; 3:15; and 12:3; Psalms 8:4; and 80:17; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; 32:2; Zechariah 13:7.
Yes, Jesus is the Son of Man and YES He is our Savior.
