Chapter 2
6But there is a place where someone has testified:
“What is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
7You made him a little lower than the angels;
you crowned him with glory and honor
8 and put everything under his feet.”
“What is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
7You made him a little lower than the angels;
you crowned him with glory and honor
8 and put everything under his feet.”
In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. 9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
Meditation
- Read the passage aloud once.
- Then read the passage again slowly. What words or phrases capture my attention the most? Pause for a moment and ask God to help me understand them and continue to meditate on them. Why do I think those words or phrases fascinate me? Are they related to what is going on in my life right now – feelings, circumstances, decisions, etc.?
- Pray that I will be continually fascinated by God’s glory, honour and majesty.
Personal Note: Jesus Christ's death and suffering brings glory to God. He overcame death and sin by his resurrection. Am I living with the hope of God's power?
