Hebrews 2:6-7
v. 6: The writer quotes scripture to ask, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the Son of man, that thou visitest him?(Psalm 8:4 a). This question highlights God’s amazing kindness to humans. God remembers people even before they exist, and all his kindness comes from his eternal plans for us. God visits people to see their needs and to help them. His care keeps us alive and safe. v. 7: God made humans a little lower than the angels, giving them special honor on earth. He placed humans above all other creatures. Even though people are lower than angels now, at the resurrection, believers will be like the angels (neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels, Luke 20:36 b). God also crowned people with glory and honor by giving them great abilities and a role in both the physical and spiritual worlds.
