Honor

Hebrews 2:7-9 - You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor and put everything under their feet.” In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them. But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.


Acts 3:13 - The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go.

Philippians 2:6-7 - Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

Application:

· What has happened to God’s plan to put everything in subjection under man (or under Christ)?
· Jesus is fulfilling God’s plan to put everything on earth under man’s feet
· Am I voting against Jesus, spurning Him, denying Him and refusing to acknowledge Him as the true Messiah?
· Christ gave up His privileges as King of the universe to become an ordinary (yet perfect) baby bound for the cross.
