The Chibi News Daily Reflection
My name is Marcus Mack. I'm a vicar in the Church of England
Dogs are incredible animals with incredible senses. They can smell and hear things that we cannot sense
There is another world out there, physical realities that are out of our reach
which raises the question, could there be spiritual realities that we are unaware of
The Bible opens up for us an unseen world where angels exist and serve God in various ways
In the Christmas story, the angel Gabriel came as a messenger from God to tell Joseph and Mary about their baby son, Jesus Christ
In the book of Daniel, an angel came as a protector to shut the mouth of lions, saving Daniel from being eaten alive
After Jesus' 40 days of temptation and fasting in the wilderness, angels came as ministers to support the weakened Son of God
When Jesus was born, angels appeared to praise and worship God, saying, Glory to God in the highest heaven
and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests. We see angels as messengers, protectors, helpers and worshippers
