What is Man?

What is God's plan for man? What is God's plan for Jesus? Are verses 5-8 speaking about man or Jesus? What is man that God would create us, care for us, provide for us, protect us, save us and redeem us?
Upon salvation we are returned to what Adam was before the fall..that is to have dominion over all created things, to become kings and vessels, to rule and reign, to give glory and honor to God.
Adam became what God did not create him to become...but...Jesus, the hope of man!
