There are ever so many wonderful stories about angels in the Bible, and we learn that they live in heaven, but come to earth when sent by God.
They are His messengers, so we read of what they did or said, but not of how they look, except of the glory of their faces, as in Matthew 28:33His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: (Matthew 28:3).
The angels, called Cherubim, came to guard the tree of life in the garden of Eden.
There were very many times when an angel came with words of comfort to someone. The most wondrous message of all was brought by the angel to the shepherds, to tell them the Saviour was born, —and was a message for all people.
So we learn of the greatness and power of angels, yet we are not to worship them. They worship God and His Son (Hebrews 1:66And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. (Hebrews 1:6)) And we need not look to see them now, because we have the Lord’s messages in His Word. Yet He may still use them as He wills (Hebrews 1:1414Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Hebrews 1:14)).
It is nice to know that the true angels see the joy of God and the Lord Jesus when any one on earth comes to Him for salvation, repenting and owning his sins, “There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” Luke 15:1010Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. (Luke 15:10).
