4. God himself showed that his message was true by performing all kinds of powerful miracles and wonders. He also gave his Holy Spirit to anyone he chose to.
5. We know that God did not put the future world under the power of angels.
6. Somewhere in the Scriptures someone says to God,“What makes you careabout us humans?Why are you concernedfor weaklings such as we?
7. You made us lowerthan the angelsfor a while.Yet you have crowned uswith glory and honour.
8. And you have put everythingunder our power!”God has put everything under our power and has not left anything out of our power. But we still don't see it all under our power.
9. What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels. Because of God's wonderful kindness, Jesus died for everyone. And now that Jesus has suffered and died, he is crowned with glory and honour!
10. Everything belongs to God, and all things were created by his power. So God did the right thing when he made Jesus perfect by suffering, as Jesus led many of God's children to be saved and to share in his glory.
11. Jesus and the people he makes holy all belong to the same family. That is why he isn't ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.
12. He even said to God,“I will tell them your nameand sing your praiseswhen they come togetherto worship.”
13. He also said,“I will trust God.”Then he said,“Here I am with the childrenGod has given me.”
