Why is Jesus called The Son of Man?

    This is an allusion to the divine figure who is the subject of Daniel 7. Primarily therefore, according to its Old Testament context, it is a reference to the very divinity of Christ, as the Son of Man who brings God's judgement, vindicates His own people, and sits on the eternal throne of God.

    Its secondary meaning, is to signify the humanity of Christ, who we acknowledge as both God and Man, possessing a human and divine nature united in the one person.

    it's also because he represented the whole humanity on the cross when he died for our sins:

    1 Timothy 2:5 - For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
