Hebrews 2:6-7 "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? (7) 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"
The writer of Hebrews is quoting Psalm 8 which begins with these words: "O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens." (Psalm 8:1) I love reading the Psalms. I am lifted up in my spirit as the name of the Lord is exalted. The Lord is seeking our wellbeing when He tells us to be active in our praise unto Him.
How excellent is the name of the Lord! In comparison to His excellency, we must ask, "What is man that thou art mindful of him?" We worship and serve the most holy God. We have to marvel when we see ourselves in contrast to Him. He is holy and pure. We are vile creatures.
This is so true and the only hope we have is that indeed Holy God is mindful of us. He is mindful of us and He visited us in the Person of His Son, Jesus. As we go through this book, we will be reminded the visitation of Jesus was not merely a social visit. He came to this earth to redeem His people from our sins.
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21) He loves us with a love that goes beyond our ability to comprehend. There is no other that would, or could, pay the price for your sin with the result of wretched and vile people being redeemed and changed in order to be brought into the presence of the Almighty for all eternity.
We must never ignore or turn away from this blessed truth. All our hope is in the shed blood of the Son of God.
