Angels and CHRIST

 

  

I USED TO love the television show Charlie’s Angels. First there was a TV show, and then there were the Charlie’s Angels movies. These three young ladies would go in harm’s way for Charlie. What’s interesting is, they had never seen Charlie. Charlie was invisible to them, yet they were willing to do his bidding. They would get a call and receive information about what Charlie wanted them to do. They would go out to represent Charlie’s interests, even though it meant difficult times for them. They were Charlie’s Angels.

The word angel in the Bible means messenger. The original Greek word is angelos. It means to be a messenger for someone else. Now if invisible Charlie could get three ladies to go in harm’s way for a man they had never seen, how much more should Jesus’ angels, messengers for Jesus Christ, be willing to go in harm’s way to represent somebody they’ve never seen? Even though we haven’t seen Him, we should be ready to fulfill His mission and share His love with others.¹⁵
