Those Wonderful Angels
Luke 2:1-16
God’s word presents us with many occasions in which angels have
intervened in the lives of man. From the Garden of Eden to the empty garden
tomb, angels are serving God. But there is no other period in which there
was so much angelic involvement as during those wonderful events that
involved the coming of Christ to the earth. What can we learn from them?
I. There are some obvious observations we can make about
angels.
A. They are present in 34 of the 66 books of the Bible.
B. They are spirit beings that can appear in human form.
C. They help Christians in a variety of ways. (Heb. 1:14)
D. There are fallen angels who are condemned along with Satan.
II. To a certain extent, every Christian is an angel!
E. No, not "perfect angels," but striving for perfection.
F. Angels are "messengers" of God.
G. Angels worship and proclaim His message!
III. Follow the example of those Heavenly beings.
H. Proclaim His message!
I. Worship with praise and thanksgiving!
J. Serve the Lord unselfishly!
Today we invite you to accept His invitation to be His servant. If you
are serving sin, self, and Satan, you need to change masters.
