A Little Lower than the Angels

HEBREWS 2:5-9

It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor and put everything under their feet.”

In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them. But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

Thank you for your response. ✨

“Oh Lord, my God, thank you having created us a little lower than the angels. And thank YOU, Lord Jesus for Your willingness to step into our world and to be made, for a little while, lower than the angels. And having suffered, bled, and died for us and now, conquering death, having been resurrected for us, You have returned to Your rightful place at the right hand of the Majesty on High. I thank You. I praise You. I ask You to ever keep before me the incredible sacrifice You’ve made for me and my eternal worth and significance to You. And I pray for all of us, Oh Lord, that we as human beings will come to recognize our value to You and that, as a result, we will learn to value one another. Help me to treat every human being with the honor that is due one created in the very image of God. Help me to treat every person with the grace, dignity, and consideration that is due one who is so highly valued by You.”
