Angels and Jesus are a lot alike, except for Jesus being God. They can both transform their bodies and simply appear in a room if they want to. They can appear as average people and also appear as majestic heavenly beings. “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” (Hebrews 13:2) Speaking of Jesus, he “was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.” (Matthew 17:2) The difference between Jesus and the Father is Jesus has a body of flesh and bones, whille the Father has a spirit. So the father is omnipresent, being in a spirit form. “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23,24) Jesus said that we will be like unto angels when we die and are resurrected. “For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” (Matthew 22:30)
The capabilities of angels being able to transform their bodies, walk through walls, or what we may say “teleportation”, may very well be the real deal for believers in heaven as well. Imagine being able to teleport to different places in the heavenly realm and new earth, while not being restricted to time and space. It is written of Jesus. “When the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.” (John 20:19) The Holy Spirit is like the Father, in that that they are both omnipresent. What this means is the Holy Spirit can dwell in millions of people at once and God’s presence can be manifested in any place at once. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16) As for Jesus and the angels, they can only appear in one place at a time. This is because of their bodies, heavenly, but still a body. This doesn’t make Jesus any less of a God. He is the Lord our God. His role, as well as angels, is different than that of the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Let us pray:
Oh Lord, I pray that we will be ready to enter our heavenly home when we die. Surely, You are preparing a place for each of us that love and walk in Your ways. You have not left us behind, but given us the presence of the Holy Spirit to be with us. I love being led by Your hand, Father, for I am able to bring heaven down to earth. Your works are good and for You to manifest them in my life and others is such a blessing. Have I entertained any angels in my life? I may never know until I am in heaven. As for the angelic realm, I know that they are among us. I believe that what we read about You in scripture still exists for us today. Angels are fighting for our cause, while You, Jesus, are pleading our cause before the Father. I have heard Your still small voice and am so happy that You came into my life. I was an outsider until You took me in. I was lost and without a shepherd. My God, I am grateful for Your forgiveness and mercy. People I thought loved me have left me, but You have never left my side. I have distanced myself at times, but You are always there for me. I love You, Jesus. I give You praise. Amen.
