Partners With Angels!
"I am your fellow servant."
Revelation 19: 10
Followers of Christ have a lot in common with angels.
Sure, there are big differences. But twice in the book of
Revelation, an angel described himself as a
“fellow servant” with John.
In Revelation 19:10, the apostle John was so overwhelmed by the
angel, he fell down before him. The angel said, “See that you do not
do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the
testimony of Jesus. Worship God!”
In Revelation 22:9, John again fell at feet of a glorious angel, who said,
“See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your
brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book.”
If an angel appeared to you, you might be startled you’d fall at his
feet. But he would pick you up and reassure you of something. He
would say something like, “You and I are fellow servants. We're
partners in ministry. We are here side by side to worship and
serve God.”
What a glorious thought! Angels, like us, are
soldiers in God’s army, ready to march for His glory.
"How delightful it is to know that the angels
are our fellow servants; that they are co-
laborers with us in the Lord’s kingdom."
