• Dumbrell preaches on mankind based on Psalm 8. Verses 3-8 constitute the heart of the Psalm. Verses 4-5 reflects upon the mystery of man and our significance within the world. Verses 6-8 explains God's purposes for man and the significance of being made in God's image. The greatness of man is expressed in our dominion over the world. Psalm 8 presents an idealised picture of man as described in Genesis 1-2. The Psalms main purpose is one of praise directed to the creative works of God. The Psalm is in praise of the royal power of God, who exercises dominion over space and time. A true understanding of God is intertwined with understanding ourselves. In order to be human, we must recognise the sovereignty and kingship of God in worship. True humanity has been expressed in Jesus Christ. Hebrews uses Psalm 8 to ponder the true identity of Christ. For us today, we likewise must answer the question concerning Christ's identity before we proceed to understanding the answer to our purpose and importance in the world.
