Jesus referred to Himself a the Son of Man.
He deliberately chose this title to conceal and reveal eternal truths about Himself. No other title used by Jesus of Himself so clearly testifies to His messianic self-consciousness.
In Ezekiel the expression "Son of Man" is used more than ninety times by God addressing the prophet (Ezek. 2:1; 3:1, etc.). In this most basic usage it simply means an indefinite expression for "a man." The phrase brings out the humanity, weakness, and frailty of the prophet in contrast to the infinite glory, strength, and knowledge of the LORD God.
