I am a Jesus pusher!!! There are many who are fascinated with angels. Angels definitely play a significant role in the Scriptures. However, in the four Gospel accounts they are only used by God during two periods of Jesus’ life for revelation and instruction. They are strongly seen during His birth and resurrection. There are two other occasions in which they appear. Jesus includes them in the Parables of Judgment and Kingdom as aiding Him in the final hours. They also make an appearance at the close of the temptations of Jesus (Matthew 4:11). It appears a major shift has taken place. The role of revelation is not fulfilled by angels but by Jesus. Jesus has become the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15). Jesus is the preeminent disclosure of God.
It is through Jesus I have a complete revelation of God. I now know how God feels about children (Matthew 19:13-15). God has revealed His true feeling about His enemies (Luke 23:34). There is no question as to whether God will forgive me or not. Jesus has settled that issue! God has walked into every area of life through Jesus. I see the holy nature of God living before me in Jesus. The revelation is complete. In addition to seeing the life of Jesus, I experience the person of Jesus. He comes to be within me (Colossians 1:27). His mind becomes mine; He gives me His heart. He is now living His life through me (Galatians 2:20). My world is seeing Jesus again through me. As Jesus was filled with the Father and was the visible image of the invisible God, so I have been filled with the Spirit of Jesus and have become the visible image of Jesus. My whole existence has become a Jesus pusher!!!
