What is man that thou art mindful of him.

Sometimes the words in the scriptures are simply so beautiful that I don’t want to mess them up trying to explain them in my clumsy way. Such is the case with Hebrews 2:6 where Paul quotes Psalms 8:4-6 “What is man that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crowned him with glory and honor and didst set him over the works of thy hands.”

 Then Paul goes on to say, Jesus was made lower than the angels for the suffering of death … for every man. Indeed that was the finally purpose of his time on earth. But from the beginning he taught and directed us toward our heavenly. Paul says, “For both he that sanctifeth and they who are sanctified are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren ... For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.”  

He is our brother in the Spirit – one of us – and yet he is a member of the Godhead and humbled himself that we could be one with the Father even as he is.
