His declarations are not mere opinions but carry divine authority, reflecting His role as a teacher and prophet.<p><b>The Son of Man</b><br>This title, "Son of Man," is one Jesus frequently uses for Himself. It has roots in the Old Testament, particularly in <a href="/daniel/7-13.htm">Daniel 7:13-14</a>, where it describes a messianic figure endowed with authority and dominion. By using this title, Jesus connects Himself to the prophetic vision of a divine figure who will establish God's kingdom. It emphasizes both His humanity and His divine mission.<p><b>is Lord</b><br>The term "Lord" signifies authority and ownership. In the Jewish context, calling someone "Lord" implies a recognition of their power and control. By stating that He is "Lord," Jesus asserts His authority over religious practices and traditions. This claim would have been provocative to the Pharisees, who were strict adherents to the Law.<p><b>of the Sabbath</b><br>The Sabbath was a central institution in Jewish life, a day of rest and worship as commanded in the Ten Commandments (<a href="/exodus/20-8.htm">Exodus 20:8-11</a>). It was a sign of the covenant between God and Israel. By declaring Himself "Lord of the Sabbath," Jesus asserts His authority to interpret the Law and redefine what is permissible on the Sabbath. This statement challenges the Pharisaic legalism that had added burdensome regulations to the Sabbath observance. Jesus emphasizes the original intent of the Sabbath as a gift for rest and worship, not a legalistic burden. This declaration also foreshadows the new covenant, where Jesus fulfills and transcends the Law.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a></b><br>Central figure in the New Testament, the Son of God, and the Messiah.
