"Why is man important to you?" Hebrews 2:6.

Who's he talking to? To God, our Father, Creator of the cosmos and all in it. Who's talking to God? A man. What's the conversation about? It's about the absurdity that God should care about humans. That God has designed salvation around human benefit. That God developed the sky kingdom for people. Not for angelic beings, impressive as they are to us. (In fact, all those armies of angels just do God's bidding to serve people.) But people are so small in an unimaginably huge universe. What about all those alien life-forms out there? (While we're making things up: UFO's; extraterrestrial monsters; friendly or scary big-brained aliens?) No matter. God's work and interest: people. Jesus became one of us. To show God's love. To us.

With a brother or sister today, we marvel that God, Creator of worlds, esteems humans so. And, together, we give thanks to our Father in the sky.
