God’s Glory Revealed in Nature, vv. 1-3

In quoting this passage in Matthew 21:15-16, Jesus told His accusers who He was and who they were. Since the babes and nursing infants praise God in Psalms 8, Jesus identified Himself as God.

B. Man is created in God’s image (angels is the word Elohim).

C. Man is made to have dominion over creatures and resources of the earth.

God’s Glory Revealed More Perfectly in Christ, v. 9 and Hebrews 2:6-10

A. Christ is the exact representation of God’s glory, Hebrews 1:3.

B. Christ is the Creator of Creation, Colossians 1:15-16.

C. Christ will have Preeminence, Colossians 1:18.
