But we do see Jesus! The TEV correctly makes this the climax of the apostle's reasoning. The hope of mankind is not angels, but Jesus!!! He is the Second Adam who brings us life!!! See Romans 5:14-18. For a little while. Jesus had to share our humanity to die for all men. Compare 1 Corinthians 15:22-23; Matthew 25:31-33. Every man and woman has the right to be put right with God through Christ (Revelation 22:17; John 6:45). We see him crowned. "We do not see man in control, but we do see Jesus crowned with glory and honor by his raising from death and his going up to heaven to sit at God's right side. His death is not a thing of disgrace, but rather the means of our being made the friends of God (Colossians 1:18-20 :1 Corinthians 1:23-24 and notes)."
