Little cupids perched on the mantel seem to be a far cry from the awesome angelic beings of Scripture.
Consider the prominence and power attributed to angels in God's order:
- Angels weilding flaming swords prohibit re-entrance to Eden.
- The "cherubim of glory" overshadowed the meacy-seat on the ark of the covenant, symbolically guarding the manifest glory of God.
- One angel killed 185,000 people in one night.
- Angelic beings encircle the heavenly throne of King Jesus, eternally exalting Him.
We could generate a very long list from Scripture citing the angels' prominence and power. But...
Getting your heart ready for Sunday
The main point of Hebrews 1:4-14 is that Jesus is superior to every angel in every way, and even, all of them combined!
- The best way to ready your heart for this, and every other Lord's Day, is to TREMBLE!
- Then, participation in the corporate prayer meeting is the best pre-service preparation.
See you Sunday, Lord willing
