1 Peter 1:3-12
Angels. They are very powerful creatures. There is story after story of angels relating messages and intervening for us or standing guard.
In 2 Samuel 24:15-16 and I Chronicles 21:15, it was only going to take one angel to destroy Jerusalem. And in II Kings 19:35, just one angel took out 185,000 trained, battle hardened military men.
Even the Apostle John was moved to worship an angel (Revelation 19:10), but the angel warned him not to do that, because he is a fellow creature.
As powerful as they are, and with the access to heaven they have, they still don't have the kind of relationship that believers have with the Lamb of God, the Lion of Judah, the King of kings. We have what all the prophets pointed toward. We have something that even angels long to look into. We have been touched by the power of God's Holy Spirit and brought to life...real life in Christ Jesus!
God is AWESOME!
