Why does Jesus call Himself The Son of Man? What does this tell us about Him? As it says in John 1:2, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Jesus is fully God and fully human. He is Emmanuel, “God with Us.” Jesus, Yeshua, “The Lord is Salvation.” He humbled Himself to become a man, born of a virgin, relatable, went through the sufferings and temptations that we go through, and He died for our sins, paid the price, and rose again to sit at the right hand of God the Father.

God Our Redeemer
For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth (Job 19:25)
This says it all. This is who God is. This is who Jesus Christ is. He is Our Redeemer (Gaal). He took on our sin, our debt, and paid for them. All of them. Read the story of Ruth. This is a story that demonstrates what Christ would do one day. Naomi and Ruth were widows; Ruth was the daughter-in-law of Naomi. Naomi was a Hebrew and Ruth was from Moab, an “outsider.” But she was faithful and stayed with Naomi even in the hardest of times. Boaz was a righteous man who was a relative of Ruth’s late husband. He took her in, he was kind to her and he would be what they called, a “kinsmen-redeemer.” In Jewish custom, a man (if he so chose) would take his dead relative’s wife to take care of her and to continue the family line. It was a great sacrifice, and it was a great act of kindness and honor. Read the book of Ruth. It is an enlightening story of love and redemption. There would come a day in which God, through His Son (in the family line of Boaz and Ruth), would redeem all of us. He would be the Savior of the world, our Redeemer. He would be the Light of the world, fully God and fully human to give us grace. Our salvation can only be through Him and no other. Praise God!

God is good. He is righteous. Bible talks about His righteousness and how our aim should be more like him. To be righteous in His sight. But, we all fall short. He does not. However, Jesus made that sacrifice on the cross so that we can be declared righteous. Thank God for that. This is why He was called Yahweh Tsidkenu or a variation of this in Hebrew, which is “God Our Righteousness.”
