That He Should Care For Us...


Psalm 8

Good News Translation (GNT)
God's Glory and Human Dignity[a]
  
    O Lord, our Lord,
      your greatness is seen in all the world!
   Your praise reaches up to the heavens;
 2 it is sung by children and babies.
   You are safe and secure from all your enemies;
      you stop anyone who opposes you.

 3 When I look at the sky, which you have made,
      at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places—
 4 what are human beings, that you think of them;
      mere mortals, that you care for them?

 5 Yet you made them inferior only to yourself;[b]
      you crowned them with glory and honor.
 6 You appointed them rulers over everything you made;
      you placed them over all creation:
    7 sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;
    8 the birds and the fish
      and the creatures in the seas.

 9 O Lord, our Lord,
      your greatness is seen in all the world!

To Encourage...

Hebrews 10:23-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Spiritual Significance

John 15:5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. "One day, a wise friend helped me understand this verse more fully by saying, “Apart from me you can do nothing  of spiritual significance,  nothing  of   etern al value.” - Caran Jantzen

A Necessary Sacrifice

Hebrews 2:16-18 New Living Translation (NLT) 16 We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters,[a] so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. 18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.
