Good Morning “Greater Than The Angels.” Today we are in Hebrews 1.
Although we aren’t sure who wrote Hebrews, the tone, among other things, suggests Paul. Others argue ot couldn’t be Paul as he was the minister to the Gentiles. By the text we know it was written to Jews. Some appear to be believers in danger of falling away, others were not believing. Some of the Hebrews were twisted up, believing that angels were equal to Jesus - even some suggesting the Archangel Micheal is more powerful.
The writer spends the bulk of the first chapter making sure the reader understands Jesus is far superior to the angels.
“For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”? And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” Hebrews 1:5-6 NIV
What’s more, as we get to the end of the chapter he makes it clear that even we, made in Gods image, through The Blood of Jesus - are superior to the angels. “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” Hebrews 1:14 NIV
Some today are inclined to believe we become angels when we die - we “get our angel wings.” Our loved ones become our “Guardian Angels.” To get there, some have misinterpreted passages such as Mark 12:25 “When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven”.
The context of this passage is marriage and is simply talking about husbands and wives at the resurrection. Marks reference to angels is ONLY to make the point that we will NOT be married in heaven.
We are created in the image of God - Angels are not. We are Co-Heirs with Jesus - Angels are not. They are forever locked in their 1 time choice - we are not. Demons, the Angels that rebelled with Satan, are not offered forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus - we ARE. Becoming an Angel would be a step down and simply isn’t The Truth of Scripture.
Guardian Angels - Yes! Demons are Angels - Yes! We become Angels - no… and thank God for that.
Love you all! Dig in and live it out!
