Hebrews 2:5-9
The writer here is quoting Psalm 8 (go on read it, you know you want to). The psalmist was praising God for creating humanity in his own image to have dominion over the creation, yet humanity is part of the creation. God has given humanity unique qualities in that we are made in the image of God (not anthropomorphism) but because of sin we have not achieved that glory which God endowed us with. In Christ we have been restored to that special place as God’s special creation.
Next time someone tells you, “You’re special”, believe them because you are.
