The fottowing retelling of the crucifixion from the viewpoint of a criminal crucified
with Jlsus is bised on Luke zj' - - .,, ^^.
Someone once said we stiould say things like "l'm lotry" a,nd "thank you" and "l
love you,, before we die-things tirat *iil "ntut. all is well' l'm not sure which
.-a.gory my words to Jesus fellinto; heck, l'm not sure why I spoke up at all. I guess
the criminal who was mocking Jesus irritated me. How could he challeng.e.an
innocent man? l'd overheard Jeius'trial-he'd done nothing wrong' But Jesus didn't
get angry; he merelY looked sad'
I didn,t know much about Jesus. l'd heard about his healing, his miracles' his life-
.;;i"; *ordr. lf l'd known him before the cross' maybe my life would have
turned out differentlY'
There was so much noise-so much jeering and mocking' l.don't knowwhere I g.ot

Isaiah 2:1-5Romans 13:11-14Matthew 24:37*44
de ar PAD Rf,
41 Wtry doaJaus refer to himself as the Son of Man? WhatY!I/ does tlte title mean?
A Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man sevenry-six'CL times in the Gospels, so it's clearly one of his favorite
titles. When people call him the Messiah, Jesus oftencorrects them by calling himself the Son of Man.
That title has at least three meanings: the Son of Man inall his humanity, the su{fering Son ofMan, and the Son ofMan who will come again.
Jesus uses the title to stress his true humanity andidentify with us. Jesus as Son of Man must suffer and die.
Every time Jesus prophesies about his death, it is as theSon of Man. Jesus connects the title with his passion and
death, linking it to Isaiah 53, the great Song of theSuffering Servant.
The Son of Man is God's powerful representative(Daniel 7:13) coming to establish the kingdom of God.The Son of Man suffers, dies, and rises to establish thekingdom of God.
That one title Som of Man summarizes much of Jesus'work of redemption: He became fully human, sufferingand dying to establish the kingdom of God.
