Son of Man

Matthew 8:20, 9:6; Mark 2:10; John 1:51

This is the name Jesus used for Himself more than any other. It is used 83 times in the Gospels and always by Jesus Himself. It is a messianic title (Dan, 7:13-14) with an obvious reference to the humanity and the humility of Christ, yet, it also speaks of His everlasting glory.  As the unique God-man, Jesus would be the ladder between heaven and earth. This term would give spiritual insight into Jesus’ nature and His purpose for coming. (John 14:6)
