~ Angels Ministry With Jesus Christ ~
Prolog ~
While holy angels and fallen angels/demons are spirit beings (Hebrews
1:14), they do have personalities.
Ministry To Christ ~ “Then
the devil left Him, and behold, angels
came and ministered to Him” (Matthew 4:11).
“And He was
withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed,
saying, ‘Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless
not My will, but Yours, be done.’ Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven,
strengthening Him. And being in
agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then
His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground” (Luke
22:41-44).
Angels Minister In Evangelism ~ “Now an
angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, ‘Arise and go toward the south
along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ This is desert. So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of
great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of
all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading
Isaiah the prophet. Then the Spirit said
to Philip, ‘Go near and overtake this chariot.’
So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and
said, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’
And he said, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’ And he asked Philip to come up and sit with
him” (Acts 8:26-31).
“There was a
certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the
Italian Regiment, a devout man and one who feared God with all his household,
who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God
coming in and saying to him, ‘Cornelius!’” (Acts 10:1-3).
Angels Will Appear With Christ at The
Second Coming ~
“When the Son of Man comes in His
glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of
His glory” (Matthew 25:31-32).
Angels Will Worship Christ With
Believers During Eternity Future ~ “God
also has highly exalted Him [Jesus Christ] and given Him the name which is
above every name, that at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those
under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).
