"Aren't angels serving spirits?" Hebrews 1:14.
Yes, that's what they are. Not one is a son of God. God has begotten no angel. (Created, yes, begotten, no.) None receive worship. None reigns from an eternal throne. God has anointed none as messiah. None laid earth's foundation or created the skies. God has bid no angel to sit beside until enemies become a footstool. Indeed. Angels are winds, flames of fire, only servants sent to serve the heirs of God's salvation. But Jesus. God's son. Begotten. Receiver of worship. Reigning eternally. Anointed messiah. Agent of creation. And after creation's demise, yet living for ever.
We get together with a brother or sister today knowing no angel could have taken Jesus' place. And together we give thanks to God that the Lord Jesus makes us heirs of salvation.
