Plenty

"You crowned him with glory and honor, you put everything under his control," Hebrews 2:7,8.

OK. In that line, who's You? God. And who's him? Man. Human beings. So. God gave humans glory, honor, control. Hmm. Interesting. So. We look around, watch the news. We reflect. Polluted earth. Polluted spirits. Warring nations. Racial strife. Selfish selves. Injustice. Family stress. Personal struggle. Doesn't look much like glory, honor, etc., does it? But wait! We see one guy, Jesus, though dead and buried, resurrected to life, to glory, honor, and everything under his feet, ruling the sky kingdom from God's right hand! He's getting all things ready for his kingdom people to join him in the sky. Plenty of glory there for all.

Today, we extend honor to a brother or sister (though they may annoy us) and see in them what God sees in us. We acknowledge the light of Christ in them. And, together, we give praise for God's grace.
