The divine grace which God shows towards humanity will be observed by angels. Moreover, the ministry of angels did not stop with the ascension of Jesus. Angels were also busy ministering to people after the time of Christ. During his early days, when the church was growing, angels were seen to be ministering to God’s people, and the church is a testimony to angels of the wisdom of God. Angels witnessed the beginning of the Church. The presence of Angels continued to strengthen the apostles as they went about their first work and undertook their first missionary journeys.
When the Lord ascended into heaven, two angels were amid the apostles to remind them of their duty “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven” Acts 1:11.
There are many deep lessons for us in the Acts of the Apostles, not in the least of which is the intimacy and active cooperation between the angels and the early Christians. It should be a model for us as we undertake our missions for Christ and his church.
