But one in a certain place testified, saying, "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 crownedst Him with glory and honour, and didst set Him over the works of Thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet." For in that He put all in subjection under Him, He left nothing that is not put under Him. But now we see not yet all things put under Him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of GOD should taste death for every man. For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. (Hebrews 2:6-10)
Here the writer of Hebrews is divinely inspired to quote from Psalm 8 and understand it applying to the Messiah. We should look at the Scriptures and see Christ, for He also testified, "they speak of Me." All things are not yet under His feet, but He is in control. He sits on the throne at the right hand of His Father, and though He does not yet rule over the hearts of all men, for He is gracious and waiting for all who will come to come and be born again, He is King of kings and Lord of lords and will one day be crowned the King of all Glory.
We who know Him will stand with Him, not because of our righteousness which is filthy rags, but because He has purchased our redemption with His own blood on that cruel Roman cross. We who have received forgiveness and GOD's grace by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, are commanded to go everywhere, and as we go we are to tell everyone of the love of GOD and His mercy in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Trust Him and believe His Word, surrendering to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. He has taken your place as the sacrifice for sIn, and offered you Salvation by His grace.
In Christ,
