We explore how Psalm 8 demonstrates that human worth is an intrinsic gift from God, rather than something earned through status, appearance, or productivity. While humanity was designed as image-bearers to exercise dominion over creation, we have historically failed to steward this authority. We look to Jesus as the "perfect image-bearer" who succeeded where humanity failed, affirming the value of every person by tasting death for everyone. By trading his life for ours, Christ restores the glory and honor intended for mankind and provides a model for living in a way to reflect God's majesty.
