Subject: Angels - Hebrews 1-4

Hebrews 1:14
Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

Subject:  Angels

There was a cult worship in the early Church that practiced the worship of angels.  They saw angels as high and lofty.  The writer of Hebrews wanted to show the Church that Jesus was supreme and the only one who deserved worship.  He tells them that Jesus created and sent the angels to care for the believers.  The obvious question then, is, "Why  are you worshipping angels as though they are higher than you, when in reality they are sent to serve Christ by serving you?"  Jesus has sent angels to do the work of caring for the believers.   We shouldn't rejoice by worshiping angels but rejoice in worshiping Jesus who sent us angels to minister to us.  God loves us so much He provides angels to watch over us.  That is the coolest thought!!
