Of all the titles Jesus could choose (Messiah, Son of God, King of Israel), He most often called Himself “Son of Man.”

This wasn’t humility.
It was prophecy fulfilled.

Daniel records:
“One like the Son of Man… to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom.”
Daniel 7:13–14

“Son of Man” is no lesser title: it belongs to the coming King.

Jesus was revealing His identity, not hiding it.

Every time He said “Son of Man,” He was pointing His people to the One Daniel saw:
the One who would rule the nations and return in glory.

The title shows His mission:
fully God, fully man, and King over all.
