The Son of Man
Luke 7:31-34
And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?…


Other persons had been, or were, sons of individual men, members of particular nations or families; but Jesus, as "the Son of man," was no man's son, but the child of humanity; belonged to no age, but to all ages; to no family or people, but to mankind. He is, as the Divine idea realized, universal and everlasting, an individual who is, in a sense, humanity.

(A. M. Fairbairn, D. D.)
