Bible Bytes - John 5:27

​"'... and [the Father] has given [Jesus] authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.'"

"Son of Man" is another way of saying "us."  Divine judgment is in the hands of Jesus who has lived as us, who knows the trials, terrors, temptations and uncertainties of our lives in an often mean world.  His humanity helps inspire His compassion.
