What?!?.....

What??!!…

I don’t worship angels, don’t assume that they are at my beck and call. (they aren’t)

But this week, I’ve found myself thinking about their roles in the story of Christmas.

The messenger sent to Mary.
The messenger sent to Joseph.

And, the messengers sent to the shepherds.

Imagine having been an angelic being in the Presence of The Triune God and being sent to humans to announce The Word of that God would become one of them. God Himself would become human….

To save them from their fallen human condition.

“WHAT?!?”

“You? The God of the universe, Creator of it all…going to that planet and becoming a ….

….a human?”

And they were sent to announce and smooth the way.



Peter writes that angels ‘desired to look into’ the very things that he was reporting in the letter he was penning. (1Peter 1:12)

Angels were interested in the gospel message.

Angels have no Savior.

We, however, do.

Thank You Lord Jesus. (….sure am glad I’m not an angel)
