Christ In The Shadows. Part [4] 02/14/2024 (Morning thought)

Luke 22:For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

Matthew 22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, what think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 43 He saith unto them, how then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Hebrews 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, what is man, that You are mindful of him? or the son of man that You visit him? 7 You have made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him over the works of thy hands.

To the cursory reader, this might seem to hearken back to creation week, when God set Adam over all the things He had created in this world. After Jesus was finished creating, He made Adam, and handed him the keys of dominion over everything, animate and inanimate, to rule over them according to God’s will.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
