1 Kings 20:1-43; Jeremiah 32:1-25; Hebrews 3:1-19
He saw…an angel of God coming in to him, and saying…call for one Simon…he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. Acts 10:3, 5-6
Angels are used by God to speak to people. Angels told Lot to flee. An angel shut the mouth of the lion for Daniel. An angel came to the young maiden Mary to inform her that she would give birth to the Incarnate Lord. But it was not the angel’s mission to give the way of salvation to Cornelius. They have never been redeemed. We have. What a solemn responsibility and privilege to explain the way of salvation to a seeking sinner. Let us be prepared when
the opportunity comes. —K. J. W.
Though angels may with rapture see, how mercy flows in Jesus’ blood,
It is not theirs to prove, as we, the cleansing virtue of this flood. —Thomas Kelly
