The Worship of Angels
The Worship of Angels
Read source excerpt
The Worship of Angels Scripture often presents angelic figures as startling beings, whose appearance generates a response of awe or fear (e.g., Josh 5:13-15; Luke 2:8-10). Yet angels have a servant role and are not to be worshiped (Heb 1:5-14; Rev 19:10). Jewish tradition had developed the concept of angels as mediators. In pre-Christian Judaism, God’s transcendence or “otherness” was emphasized to such an extent that people felt mediators were needed in order to communicate with him. In this context, angels grew in importance. For Christians, Christ has a unique role as mediator between God and humans. An interest in angels or deceased saints as providing a means to communicate with God can easily get in the way of honoring Christ as the sufficient mediator between God and human beings (1 Tim 2:5-6; see also 2 Cor 5:19-21; Heb 7:24-25). God still has angelic messengers, but they are creatures who serve him, not divine beings to be worshiped. God alone is worthy of our prayers and our worship.
