Human beings have a higher
status than angels in the sense that they are made in the image of God to rule
the world under him. We are adopted into the family of our loving heavenly
Father. Angels are awesome and powerful beings, but they are servants, ministers.
In our fallen world, we do
not see all things subject to humanity. The world is out of sorts. We often
make it worse, not better. But Jesus is a New and Second Adam, the Last Adam
who will rule the world perfectly and put it to rights. Our destiny as human
beings is fulfilled in him.
Jesus’ full and true
humanity means he perfectly meets our needs as human beings. This is another reason
to be fixated on Jesus. Jesus shows us who we were meant to be. By his death he
restores us to the relationship with God for which we were created.
