Ministering Angels
Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
Hebrews 1:14
Although angels are superior to human beings in terms of intellectual understanding and in terms of power, God has ordained that they should be ministering spirits for those who will inherit salvation. They are "sent forth" by God to render aid to Christians as they do their part to advance and enhance the Kingdom of God on earth.
Angels do many different things for the people of God. Here are just four of them:
First, they deliver messages to us from God. Luke 1:30-31 tells us that an angel told Mary about her future role.
Second, they defend, protect, and deliver us. Acts 5:19 says that an angel delivered the apostles from prison.
Third, they strengthen us when we are tempted. Luke 22:43 says that when Jesus was tempted in the Garden of Gethsemane "an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him."
Finally, angels apparently escort us to heaven when we die. Luke 16:22 says that Lazarus the beggar "was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom."
Hebrews 13:2 says, Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
Christmas opened heaven for us and all that belongs in the Kingdom of God is for us including angels.
Today God sends angels in the form of human to help you, strengthen you, protect you. They surround you where every you go.
So rejoice and be glad and thank the Lord Jesus, for He has not left you alone but surrounded with ministering angels.
