By choosing to call himself "Son of Man" Jesus reveals that he is not just a figure of glory, but a human being just like us. "Look at me!" he says, "I've gone through all that you go through. I'm living in you and will share with you the strength that got me through rejection and suffering and death. Follow me, hang on to me, and we'll get through this together. (Translation by me)
