SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 12-24-02
My
Worship Time Focus: Jesus Made Lower than the Angels
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Hebrews 2:6-7
1. Message
of the verse: “But one
testified in a certain place, saying: "What is man that You are mindful of
him, Or the son of man that You take care of him? You have made him a little lower than the
angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works
of Your hands. (NKJV) “For somewhere the
Scriptures says, ‘What is man that you should think of him, and the son of man
that you should care for him?’ For a
little while you made him lower than the angels, and you crowned him with glory
and honor.’” (NLT)
The writer asks the question in this
verse why God ever bother with man. He then
quotes from Psalm 8:4-6 but does not identify where the quotation comes from,
he even make it vague as to where the quote comes from as if it did not matter
too much. The theme of this section is
still that Christ is superior to angels.
Verse 7 says that man was made a little lower than angels and was
crowned with glory and honor and then he was given responsibility to care for
creation that God had made. This verse
is not speaking of Jesus Christ, but man.
2.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: To answer the question what is man that the
writer brought up in this section gives meaning to my life for not only today
but each and every day. Man is so
important to God that He became one to die on a cruel cross to take care of the
sin problem for man and bring him back in fellowship with Himself. God demonstrated His love for us through the
cross of Jesus Christ.
The
Word of God was refreshing to me today.
