Who are these dazzling creatures dispatched from the throne room of Glory to invade our dimension on assignment from God? Both fearful and comforting, tender yet powerful, they bring warnings of disaster or good news of redemption.They suddenly appear and just as suddenly vanish, leaving us with questions about their nature, character and even the lingering doubt: Do they really exist? They do indeed, and they are angels. Their name means "Messenger," and they are God's Secret Agents, on covert mission assignments around the world on behalf of God's chosen people. They feature large in the Christmas story, but they are not the chubby cherubs you might think they are!
