ANGELS

Angel

December 17
Read: Hebrews 1: 1-14
Symbol: Angel


The word "angel" means "messenger." Angels are created beings different from men. At one time, before man was created, an angel named Lucifer led a rebellion in heaven and was thrown out of heaven. His name was changed to Satan. He took one third of all the angels with him in the rebellion. They became demons. Two thirds of the angels remained with God and today they are His messengers.
Throughout the Bible we read of angels bringing messages from God to men. Angels were very important in Jesus' life. An angel brought the news to Mary and angels announced His birth to the shepherds. Angels ministered to Him in the wilderness, announced His resurrection and told about His Second Coming.
Angels are servants of God and their job is to watch over and minister to us who are called "heirs of salvation." (Heb. 1:14.)

Prayer: Thank You, Father, that You give Your angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways. Amen.

1:1
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
1:2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
1:3
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he
had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
1:4
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
1:5
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father,
and he shall be to me a Son?
1:6
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
1:7
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
1:8
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
1:9
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows.
1:10
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
1:11
They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
1:12
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
1:13
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
1:14
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
