The Son of Man and the Son of God
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bible Verses~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luke 22:66 And when it became day, the assembly of the elders of
the people, both chief priests and scribes, were gathered
together, and they led Him away to their Sanhedrin, saying, (67)
If You are the Christ, tell us. But He said to them, If I tell
you, you shall by no means believe; (69) But from now on the Son
of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.
(70) And they all said, Are You then the Son of God? And He said
to them, You say rightly that I am. (71) And they said, What
further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it
ourselves from His mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Words of Ministry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Sanhedrin was a council composed of the chief priests, the
elders, the lawyers, and the scribes. It was the highest court
of the Jews. When the Man-Savior was asked if He was the Christ…
The Lord's answer indicates that He not only was the Son of Man
on earth before His crucifixion, but also indicates that He will
be the Son of Man in the heavens on the right hand of God after
His resurrection and also at His coming back on the clouds [Luke
21:27] . His answer also indicates that He is God's Christ, His
anointed. Otherwise, He could not be seated at the right hand of
the power of God.
Luke 22:70 says, "And they all said, Are you then the Son of
God? And He said to them, You say that I am." The question the
Man-Savior was asked here is the same question the Devil used in
tempting Him (4:3, 9). The Greek words rendered, "You say that I
am," may also be translated, "You say it, because I am." When
the ones judging the Lord heard His answer, they said, "What
further need do we have of testimony, for we have heard it
ourselves from his mouth?" (v. 71). They were excited and,
thinking that He was blaspheming God in saying that He was the
Son of God, they condemned Him.
