No Ordinary Person

Son of Man

Because He was conceived in and born of a human virgin, Jesus is also the Son of Man. As the Son of Man, Jesus lived a normal human life as a prototype, a model for His believers. He prayed to the Father ceaselessly, depending on God for everything. “He never did anything of Himself (John 5:19, 30; 6:38; 8:28); He never spoke anything from Himself (John 7:16-17; 14:10)....He denied and rejected Himself. He always took God as His life” (Lee, Four Steps 10). Even in dealing with Satan, Jesus maintained His position as a man fully dependent on God (Matthew 4:3-11). Without question, He was God Himself; He was one with the Father—but at the same time He set forth for us a full, flawless pattern of the divine life living in and expressed through the human life.
