Main Idea: Look at Jesus—the son of man who suffered and died for us!
• God did not subject the world to come to angels (5) He initially subjected the world to man (Ps 8:4-6; vv. 6-8a) Man was made a little lower than the angels (Ps 8:5; v. 7a) God crowned Adam with glory and honor (Ps 8:5; v. 7b, 8) God placed everything under man’s control (v. 8)
• Man failed in that dominion (Rom 5:12) He sinned against God (Rom 5:12) His sin was passed down through all of mankind (Rom 5:12) We all sinned in Adam (Rom 3:23)
• We do not now see everything subject to man (v. 8b) We need another man—a better Adam! A true Man A representative Man who can rightfully exercise dominion A second Adam who can deal with the sin of the first Adam
We have that true Man in Jesus—the God-Man He was made for a little while lower than the angels (v. 9a) He experienced the suffering of death for everyone (v. 9c) He was crowned with glory and honor (v. 9b)
• We must look at Jesus to have our sins forgiven!
