I lead a Bible study here for Cru or formal called Campus
Crusade for Christ. We are currently going through the book of Hebrews. Which
right off the bat I knew it would be a challenge since it is so dense with
allegorical language and the style of writing in the book is very lavish. So we
went through the first chapter a couple of weeks ago and it brought up the idea
of angels, and how angels can help you along in your process of becoming and
staying a Christian. Which for me was hard to understand, how can angels help
us? I was initially thinking of guardian angels, however that being said I
think the world has made angels out to be something totally different then what
they are. Everyone has seen the movie It’s
a wonderful Life, and in that movie we are taught that ever time a bell
rings angels gets there wings. So to me we have twisted angels to fit into our
understanding of what they are, and that’s not right. God used angels to send
us messages, and push people towards good. C.S. Lewis’ book the Great Divorce, gives a different kind of
idea of an angel then what we understand an angel as being. Lewis calls them
spirits that help men in their journey in Heaven. I think we should look at
angels like that today, as the spirit of God.
