John Piper Sermons Do Angels Walk Among Us Today?
This new teaching by Pastor John Piper titled “Do Angels Walk Among Us Today?” is what we are bringing to you to listen to and meditate on. Pastor john started the message by telling us that In the old testament, we see that there a lot of Angelic Activity in the books of
- Judges 13:3: “The angel of the Lord appeared to [Samson’s mother-to-be] and said to her, ‘Behold, you are barren and have not borne children, but you shall conceive and bear a son.’”
- Psalm 34:7: “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.”
- Psalm 91:11: “He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”
- Daniel 6:22: “My God sent his angel and shut the lions’ mouths.”
- Psalm 103:20–21:
- “Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his [angelic] hosts, his ministers, who do his will!”
The New Testament begins with a great flurry of angelic activity surrounding the birth of Jesus in Matthew and Luke (Matthew 1:20–25; Luke 1:26–38; 2:8–14), and then there’s some activity of angels during the life of Jesus (Mark 1:13; Luke 22:43). And then in the book of Acts, angels rescue Christians from prison twice (Acts 5:17–21; 12:6–11). They guide Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26–40). They guide Cornelius to Peter (Acts 10:3–8), and they guide Peter to Cornelius (Acts 10:9–16). They kill Herod (Acts 12:21–23). They remind Paul on the ship that he is going to make it to Rome (Acts 27:13–44).
So, the New Testament position seems to be this: Angels are real. They are sent into the world for the sake of Christians. You might entertain an angel without knowing it. But vastly more important is to grasp that Christ is among us; Christ has promised to take care of us; Christ will never leave us or forsake us; Christ may be entertained in the person of a believer. And therefore, the Christian life should be a hundred times more oriented on Christ than on angels, and for his sake — for his sake — our homes should be open.
