Amba (Post #1): Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. Son of Man stresses the humanity of Jesus Christ. In His humanity Jesus Christ satisfied God the Father by giving up His own life for the sins of the world. Jesus will someday unexpectedly return to Earth in majestic glory with His angels. He will reward everyone for how they lived their life.
