Then the devil went away, and angels came and took care of Jesus. Matthew 4:11
Meditate.
Angels.
Numerous books are written about angels—so what can I say in a short blog about
such a heavenly topic?
"Rejoice with him, you
heavens, and let all of God's angels worship him. Rejoice with his
people, you nations, and let all the angels be strengthened in him. For he will
avenge the blood of his servants; he will take revenge against his enemies. He
will repay those who hate him and cleanse the land for his people." Deuteronomy 32:43

| Weeds will be burned in a fire. |
Jesus replied, "The Son of Man
is the farmer who plants the good seed. The field is the world, and the good
seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong
to the evil one. The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil.
The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels. Just as
the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of
the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his
Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. And the angels will
throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father's Kingdom.
Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!" Matthew 13:37-43
The
angels are heavenly—but Jesus is more. He is our savior. The angels could never
be that.
And furthermore, it is not angels
who will control the future world we are talking about. For in one place the
Scriptures say, "What are mere mortals that you should think about them,
or a son of man that you should care for him? Yet you made them only a little
lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them
authority over all things. Now when it says "all things," it
means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their
authority. What we do see is Jesus, who was given a position "a little
lower than the angels"; and because he suffered death for us, he is now
"crowned with glory and honor." Yes, by God's grace, Jesus tasted
death for everyone. Hebrews
2:5-9
The angels
ministered to Jesus after He endured the temptations of the Devil. They will
likewise minister to all of Jesus’ family. That’s us. The believers. Are we
listening to Jesus’ teaching on angels?
Prayer
– Lord Jesus, angels ministered to You. Are they really taking care of us, too?
So many people pray that angels will protect us as we travel—angels at all
corners of our cars. Angels comfort the sick and dying. Angels are God’s
creation—Your creation. Your word tells us that angels fight the spiritual
battles that happen without us even being aware. Thank You for creating such
wonderful beings.
Verse
of Salvation ~ God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to
bring many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make
Jesus, through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their
salvation. Hebrews
2:10
