Angels

1 Pet. 1:9-12

"receiving the end of your faith-the salvation of your souls. Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven-things which angels desire to look into."

So why are the angels interested in man's salvation? We talked about the angels and how they are created beings without the ability to procreate or the ability to be redeemed if they fall. Perhaps they are wondering why man can be receive salvation by grace and be restored. Why would God allow His Son to pay the price of sin for a man? I have been given something that the angels cannot understand. Do I take it for granted?

We also talked about the book of Isaiah and how it is very full of the prophecies of Christ and how He would come to provide our salvation.
