6. HUMAN NAMES ARE GIVEN TO HIM BY HIMSELF AND OTHERS.

Luke 19:10--"Son of Man." Matt. 1:21--"Thou shalt call his name

Jesus." Acts 2:22--"Jesus of Nazareth." 1 Tim. 2:5--"The man Christ

Jesus."

No less than eighty times in the Gospels does Jesus call himself

the Son of Man. Even when acquiescing in the title Son of God as

addressed to Himself He sometimes immediately after substitutes

the title Son of Man (John 1:49-51; Matt 26:63,64).

While we recognize the fact that there is something official in

the title Son of Man, something connected with His relation to the

Kingdom of God, it is nevertheless true that in using this title

He assuredly identifies Himself with the sons of men. While He is

rightly called _THE_ Son of Man, because, by His sinless nature

and life He is unique among the sons of men, He is nevertheless

_A_ Son of Man in that He is bone of our bone and flesh of

our flesh.
