#60What is Man?
This is not an issue that only concerns men. It is an issue that has to do with creatures. The psalmist is asking a very serious question not just for the sake of asking but to clear his doubt and settle a confusion going on within his mind.
God what do you do to man that makes him so important to you like that? he will curse you to your face and throw all manner of blasphemy at you and you will still tell him "I love you".
What do you do to man that he will praise you today and say crucify him tomorrow, but you still tell him "come let's reason together". reason what? someone who denied you as his creator?
What do you do to man that he will persecute you and instead of killing him because of his wickedness you still raise him and make him a national preacher, a killer? I'm at sixes and sevens, That is why I'm calling this meeting. So What is man?
Angels are not given this opportunity, whenever they do err it is judgment straight up just like the case of lucifer. But you gave man the chance to still repent, what makes him different from other things you have created? Do you lose your creativity after you created man?
What is man?
What is man that you make him the zenith of your creation and makes him sit at the right hand of your throne, and still set him above angels and even give him dominion over everything you created, can't you use another entity, what about the 24 elders and the four-winged cherubs that praise and cry holy unto you every day. What makes a man more relevant than them. why is it that it is man you use? so what is man?
When men begin to worship God it will seem as if the worship of the 24 elders and the angels in heaven does not make sense again. God would leave His throne and come down in His Glory to honour him. So what is man? Ahh!
Revelations about man.
There are things that will happen to man just because he found himself in a mortal body. Those are the things that comes with the effect of having a mortal body.
The Bible never hid the frailty of Jesus Christ. It was recorded in the bible when he was hungry, angry, tired, etc...
1. Man is not God :
Many people mistake this and give the reverence they are supposed to give God to man. When you see a man performing signs and wonders, healing the sick, raising the dead, working in strange spiritual gifts, and performing strange miracles. You may want to ask yourself, "my God, is this a human being?" Let me quickly tell you the answer is yes! Men are not God it is the Grace of God upon men that makes them walk like God upon the earth. Talk about men like Moses who parted the Red sea, Elijah who called down fire from heaven, Peter whose shadow began to heal the sick. Are these really men? Yes, but when the Grace of God comes it has a way of presenting men as if they are God.
2. Man is not omnipotent!
The ability to be everywhere at the same time, even when Jesus was upon the earth He couldn't achieve this. The prophetic is an advantage but with that you still see impact look, not fully; at the side effect.
3. Man can't do without rest.
One of the most surprising scripture is where the bible says "And God rested". So if God should rest, surely man needs rest.
The strength of a man is limited, so man can come to a state of tiredness where his body now demands for rest.
4. Man can't live without food.
This is also inevitable, man can come to state that his body will demand for food too. We have people that fast for a whole month and more, but as time goes on, the body will demand for food.
Thanks for reading 🙏❤️
Exactly you are right. God is a creator and man cannot be called God, because God is holy and we are just his servants. Thank you.
