Read something this morning in Bill Freeman's daily devotional, "The Supplied Life" that I was struck with and thought to share:
Quote:

This universe is in a state of collapse because of Satan, sin, the flesh and the world, which have sought to disorient and damage God's creation. However, God became a man and came to this earth, not only to redeem us personally, but to secure a firm foothold in the universe to head it up and administrate it with Himself as Lord. When we say, "Jesus is Lord!" we are saying that He is Lord over all as a God-Man on the throne of this universe. He is the God-Man who glorified humanity in His own Person by giving a perfect sinless life. Then He was glorified in His body. First Timothy 2:5 declares, "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus. This means when He came out of the grave, He was a resurrected Man. He was God, but He was equally man; and will remain a God-Man for eternity. He will never loose His manhood. He assumed it. He put it on, never to put it off. He took humanity to the throne and was seated there, and God made Him Lord and Christ in this universe.

In reading this I caught a little glimpse of "What is man that thou art mindful of him?" (Psalm 8:4) God created man in His likeness and image, but why? So man would be a good fit for God! God loves us so much, because He made us as vessels to contain just Him (as the old song goes)! Man is not just passing fancy of God . . . as Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus unto good works."
Anybody else see this?
