Psalm
8 Humanity of Christ and His Victory as Man
This
scripture looks to our Lord Jesus Christ and to the future.
“..verily
I say unto you, except you be converted, and become as little children, you
shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” Matt. 18:38. According to J. Vernon
McGee it was the children who cried this song, “Hosanna to the son of David.”
Matthew 12:15.
It
was God who put the moon and the stars in their places. It was the Creation of
His finger-work. The Bible says that God created us and put us on earth. Then
man sinned and turned aside from God. They disbelieved and disobeyed Him. The
question is “What is man, that you are mindful of him?” Jesus Christ died on a
cross to let us know that He loved us. He did not save us by love; He saved us
by grace because we did not have anything to offer. We were not worth saving.
When
Jesus made Old Testament appearances, He came as the Angel of the Lord; but
when He came to Bethlehem, He came much lower than that – He came to the level
of man.
God
made the beasts of the field, the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea. He
made you and me. Someday the name of the Lord will be excellent in all the
earth. In our time we live in a universe that is groaning, travailing in pain,
waiting for redemption. He has set His glory above the heavens. He is now
seated at God’s right hand. Only by faith will we be able to see Him.
Please
read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
