The Greatest Authority on Angels ...things which angels desire to look into. 1 Peter 1:12 Recommended Reading Matthew 26:50-56 Jesus had more encounters with angels than anyone else in history. During His earthly life, angels -- both good and evil ones -- appeared to Him many times. He conversed with them, argued with them, silenced a few of them, and on one occasion stated that He had several thousand of them at His disposal. Angels were present at His birth, during His temptation, during His agony in Gethsemane, at the tomb on Easter Sunday, and at His ascension. Now theyre awaiting instructions regarding His return. The angels were drawn to Him and desired to look into the depths of the Good News He was bringing us. Its no wonder He commands the heightened attention of heavens host. If the ultimate purpose of angels is to glorify His name, then we would expect them to be drawn to Jesus. Come to think of it, the same is true of us, isnt it? If our ultimate purpose is to worship and praise our Lord, should we not, too, be drawn to Him? Should we not also sing Holy, Holy, Holy? And should we not seek to serve Him as the angels do, especially because we have a song that even angels cannot sing -- the song of redemption? Yea, sinners may address their King in songs that angels cannot sing.
