And to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”? Are they all not ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherent salvation? Hebrews 1:13-14. The Son’s position of heavenly authority is contrasted to the angels’ role as servants to “those who are to inherit salvation” (that is, who share as co-heirs in the Son’s rights as heir). The angels are servants to Christ, but also to His people, who inherit salvation through union with Him. In this His people are favored above angels. No matter how hard folks attempt to glorify something other than Christ the fact remains that He has set the order and nothing we do will change that. We place people, and things like angles on a pedestal often forgetting that the Throne of God is and always will be above them all!
