SUBJECT: Jesus Christ
TITLE: Who is the Son of Man?
PROPOSITION: In this lesson we will ask and answer the question “Who is the Son of Man” according to the gospel of Luke chapters 1-12. We will learn that the Son of Man is 1) The one who has power to forgive sins (Luke 5:24). 2) Lord of the Sabbath (Luke 6:5). 3) The one delivered into the hands of men (Luke 9:44). 4) Not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them (Luke 9:56). 5) Hath not where to lay his head (Luke 9:58). 6) Was a sign to His generation (Luke 11:30). 7) Comes at an unexpected hour (Luke 12:40).
OBJECTIVE: The hearer should understand that Jesus was not only divine, but human and that the expression “son of man” while not unique to Jesus, emphasizes His humanity.
Aim: To reinforce in the minds of the hearer the identity of Jesus.
