Son of Man

(It's been slow going lately with vacation, not waking up early enough, being tired/having trouble concentrating during my quiet times...but hopefully, Lord willing, that's turning around.)

I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. -Dan 7:13-14

  • This is Jesus. When Jesus spoke of being the "son of man," he was referring back to this passage.
  • Even Jesus was presented before the Father (the Ancient of Days)
  • Jesus is not the one who calls us to serve him. The Father calls us to. In handing the Father's authority (dominion) to Jesus, he changed the nature of our servanthood.
