 But the fact that Jesus used the term son of man throughout the gospel shows his identification with man in order to provide the perfect sacrifice for man's sin. So what can we take from these seven names, these seven titles? We can make a conclusive statement that though man was born in darkness, man was born in sin. God's desire is for man to be restored to a relationship with him. So God initiated a plan. He initiated his plan that he had from before the foundation of the world.
