He didn't Come to Save Angels

www.faithdomian.com
At Christmas time, angels are everywhere. They bring news to Mary,  instructions to Joseph, travelling directions to wise men, and most spectacular of all, a flash mob singing about good news in the hills around Bethlehem. In the hierarchy of life, the Hebrew people placed angels higher than themselves, just under God.

The writer of the book of Hebrews though, points clearly to the fact that Jesus did not come to save angels. He became a man, a real human man, born in a stable, who suffered along with his sisters and brothers. Jesus came to save us, the angels came to tell the story. This Sunday we will consider how this good news changes everything for us.
