This title emphasizes both Jesus' humanity and His divine authority, bridging the gap between heaven and earth.<p><b>has authority on earth</b><br>This phrase highlights Jesus' divine authority, which is not limited to the spiritual realm but extends to the earthly domain. In Jewish thought, only God could forgive sins, so Jesus' claim to have this authority on earth is a direct assertion of His divine nature.
