Title: Angels - God's Secret Agents
Author: Dr David Davis
Text: Psalms 148:2-5
One of the classic movies is shown every year around the Christmas season -- "It's a Wonderful Life" with James Stewart and Donna Reed which came out in 1946. For over 70 years it has been shown to the world with the story of how important your life really is,
The story line is George Bailey (Stewart) is shown what life would have been like if he had never been born and an Angel -- Clarence -- was sent down from Heaven to show him.
In the movie, Bailey doesn't realize the power of the good he does for his friends, family, and for all of Bedford Falls. If it wasn't for the good he does -- Bedford Falls would be Pottersville.
At the end of the movie -- the most famous line says, "When a bell rings, an angel gets its wings."
That's right -- Clarence (Henry Travers) -- Bailey's angel (second class) -- got his wings and Bailey looks up to heaven and says, "Way to go Clarence -- way to go!"
Finally - Bailey reads Clarence's message -- "Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."
While the movie shows us how an angel is dispatched to a man in desperate trouble -- it was Hollywood's attempt to show how that angels exist and seek to intervene in real life problems.
Throughout Christian history the number one theme of sculptures, painters, and artists depicting the story of the Bible has been the cross. A close second has been that of angels. You can be sure that angels are important to the Lord. There are 360 references to angels in the Word of God. There are three main things related to angels that apply to our lives.
Angels are created beings. They are not eternal. Psalms 148:2-5, verse 5 is a summation of everything that He said they should praise Him because God created them. The word created means that God made something that has a beginning and an ending. The word eternal means that something has no beginning or ending.
