A person ( Psalm 8 )

W . Barclay,wrote something very lovely ,' One is struck , on reading the Bible, by the importance in it,of  personal names. Whole chapters are devoted  to long genealogies. When I was young I used to think that  they could well have been dropped from the Biblical Canon. But I have since realised that these series of proper names bear witness to the fact that,in the Biblical perspective,man is neither a thing nor an abstraction, neither a species nor an idea, that he is not a fraction of a mass,as the Marxists see him,but that he is a person'.And a person whom God so loves that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish , but have everlasting life  ( John 3  16 )
