This is a difficult topic to condense into a few paragraphs for a blog, but I believe it is an important topic for all of us to know about.

The title "Son Of Man" is used repeatedly throughout scripture to describe Jesus.   Did you know that in the Old Testament book of Daniel (Chapter 7), He had a vision of Jesus in which he saw HIM as the Son OF MAN?   Many books have been written on this topic and to adequately write about Jesus is like trying to gather the ocean in your hands - it is just not possible.   However, it is important to realize that even though Jesus has many titles and names in the Bible He used the title Son of Man more often when referring to Himself.

This title expresses His humility and allows us to see His lowliness.  The One "whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light".  This title refers to Him coming down from heaven, leaving HIS position in heaven to become the sacrifice for our sins.

In Matthew 24:30 Jesus is speaking of Himself and HE says: "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (This is how Jesus refers to Himself at His second coming).

One interesting fact is that nowhere in Scripture - not in any portion of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation -  does satan - the enemy of Jesus - ever refer to Jesus as the Son of Man.

• Do you remember when Satan went to tempt Jesus in the wilderness he said: If thou art the Son of God. Even when demons came in contact with Jesus they always cried out, Son of God, never Son of Man.
  
• Do you remember the young maid, who was possessed by the unclean spirit, kept following Paul and Silas did not say that the Apostles were servants of the Man Jesus but called them servants of the most high God.
  

Throughout the Bible, satan concedes the divinity of Jesus, but does not want that we address Him as Man-God. This is one of the reasons why the Apostles insisted in their writing and preaching on the Mediator, the Man Christ JESUS.

The Bible clearly teaches us that Jesus came to earth to win man back to God.

Paul reminds us that there is One Mediator between God and men, the MAN-Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus -Himself- the MAN.

Jesus was never ashamed to call us brothers and sisters, for He participated in the same things as us. He was tempted in ALL things like we are but He never gave in to the temptation. In this way we can put our trust in Jesus.

Hebrews reminds us: that we have not an high priest that cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities. So we can know the Jesus has compassion on us because He was tempted in everything that we go through, yet without sin.

This is why Jesus can make forceful invitations: “Let us, therefore, draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help in time of need.”

Jesus feels our infirmities. He is relatable. Jesus is the Savior to the uttermost, a perfect Redeemer who saves us from ALL things.   

We also read that Jesus not only felt our infirmities but He also bore our griefs and sorrows. Our griefs and sorrows really cannot be explained.  Those times when we experience a heavy atmosphere which seems to envelop even the most consecrated life.

Perhaps a good lesson we can learn from Jesus is to not want great titles, neither proud degrees because all we are doing is distancing ourselves from one worm to another.

The Bible tells us that those who humble themselves shall in due time be exalted. This title Son of Man lets us know how much Christ loves us. The incarnate One did not do so in the dark. When he brought forth His Only Begotten Son into the world, He said, "Let all the angels of God worship him." It was told in heaven; it was not done as a dark secret which Jesus Christ would do in the night that none might know it; but all the angels of God were brought to witness the advent of a Savior.

The Bible says that Jesus the Son of man came to seek and the save that which was lost. That includes the entire world. John 3:16 KJV says For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

As we celebrate the Holiday Season, let us remember that JESUS is the SON OF MAN who came down to earth to give HIS life so that we can spend eternity in heaven with HIM!   If you have never done it before, turn your life over to JESUS, the SON OF MAN, today!​

Will you worship HIM today?  HE ALONE IS SON OF GOD AND SON OF MAN!

Everybody wants or thinks they are going to go to Heaven when they die, but nobody wants to die.  Have you noticed that lately? We forget that we are all terminal.  You have to go through something to get to something. You have to go through death to get to Heaven, and you have to go through death to yourself (dying to self) to get to the victorious, abundant life. Heaven is a real place described in the Bible. The word “heaven” is found 276 times in the New Testament alone.
 
In the Bible in John 10:10 Jesus said: "I have come that you might have life and have it abundantly.”  Jesus didn’t say, “I have come that you might have death,” but Jesus said, you might have life.   We won’t receive this life until we’re sick and tired of our old life. Not until we say, “Yes, to Jesus, because you died for me and I died with you. And I thank God, when you rose, because I will rise with you.”
 
People have different ideas about heaven. Many have no understanding of God at all, but still like to think of heaven as the "better place" where we all go when we die. If you asked people about their ideas about heaven their answers are often no more than vague hopes, similar to "maybe I’ll win the lottery some day."  Let’s face it most people don’t give heaven much thought until they attend a funeral or a loved one dies. It is popular to refer to heaven as the place where "the good people go." And of course, everyone they know and love is included in the category of "good people".
 
In the Bible those who were believers remind us that the funeral of Christians while filled with grief and the separation that comes with it also has bright hope.  For the Christian death is not the end.  We look forward beyond our own time on earth and realize that we have comfort in God and what is awaiting us.
 
Why is there so much interest in Heaven?  Well, the heavens are a creation of God along with the earth.  God made everything: the heavens and the earth.  The heavens belong to Him.  The Bible also refers to heaven as God’s dwelling place.  The Bible says that the heavens are His throne and the earth is His footstool.  Are you getting a picture of the greatness of God?  As awesome as the heavens are as they are described in the Bible, but God is not contained in them or even in the highest heavens.  He overfills the heavens and the earth!
 
But now that I said this about heaven the Bible also tells us that the heaven will disintegrate and disappear like smoke.  Then God will create a new heaven and a new earth that will exist eternally for His people.  But only if you have made a commitment to Christ while you are alive then you will spend eternity with Him in heaven.
 
Because of Jesus we understand even better than the Saints of the Bible what awaits us in Heaven.  Yes, death’s sting still hurts.  But we know that the death of the body is our induction into a full experience of eternal life.  The death of a loved one hurts but death is not life’s end, it is our entry into a full experience of that eternal life promised to us by the Lord Jesus Christ, Our Savior, Redeemer and soon coming Lord.
 
You want to get to heaven?  Then, while you are alive you must make your commitment to serve Him.  NOW is the time and please humble yourself before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Accept by faith what He did on that Cross for you.  Believe on Him and His Word and then Confess it to others.  That is sending your reservation ahead for your place at the King’s table and His Kingdom eternally.  Do it today!  That is how you make it to Heaven.  
 
The people who go to heaven are all alike in one way: they are all sinners who have placed their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:12; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9). They have recognized their need for a Savior and humbly accepted God’s offer of forgiveness. They have repented of their old ways of living and set their course to follow Christ (Mark 8:34; John 15:14). They have not attempted to earn God’s forgiveness but have served him gladly from grateful hearts (Psalm 100:2). The kind of faith that saves a soul is one that transforms a life (James 2:26; 1 John 3:9-10) and rests fully on the grace of God.
 
Years ago, I heard someone say that Heaven is a place of “no mores”.   There will be no more tears, no more pain, and no more sorrow (Revelation 21:4). There will be no more separation, because death will be conquered (Revelation 20:6). The best thing about heaven is the presence of our Lord and Savior (1 John 3:2). We will be face to face with the Lamb of God who loved us and sacrificed Himself so that we can enjoy His presence in heaven for eternity.
 
Well, do you know for sure that you have eternal life and that you will go to heaven when you die? God wants you to be sure! The Bible says: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). Suppose you were standing before God right now and He asked you, “Why should I let you into heaven?” What would you say? You may not know what to reply. What you need to know is that God loves us and has provided a way that we can know for sure where we will spend eternity. The Bible states it this way: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). 
 
Accept His free gift today, so that you will know where you will be one blink after you die.
