SON AND MAN

KO E ‘ALO PEA MO E TANGATA

2 CORINTHIANS 13:4

For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we too are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.

2 KOLINITO 13:4

Seuke, ‘oku mo‘oni na‘e kalusefai ia ko ‘ene vaivai, ka ‘oku ne mo‘ui ko ‘ene mālohi mei he ‘Otua; pea ‘oku mo‘oni ‘oku mau vaivai fakataha mo ia, ka te mau mo‘ui fakataha mo ia ‘i he fai kiate kimoutolu, ko ‘emau mālohi mei he ‘Otua.

 

Solus Christus - Christ Alone - Ko Kalasi pe   

We acknowledge, indeed, that Christ in human nature is called a Son, not like believers by gratuitous adoption merely, but the true, natural, and therefore only Son, this being the mark which distinguishes Him from all others. The Scripture gives Him both names, calling Him at one time the Son of God, at another the Son of Man.

As to the latter, there can be no question that He is called a Son in accordance with the phraseology of the Hebrew language, because He is of the offspring of Adam. On the other hand, I maintain that He is called a Son on account of His Godhead and eternal essence, because it is no less congruous to refer to His divine nature, His being called the Son of God, than to refer to His human nature, His being called the Son of Man.
