Transcribed Extract: Why Angels Go to Church But did you know that the most regular attenders in church are the angels of God? Did you know that? They frequent the assemblies of God’s people. We find this, for example, in that rather odd chapter… It’s odd because we are not really quite sure what Paul has in mind, although I think I have the definitive explanation of it, which you’ll just have to wait for another ten years to find out. In 1 Corinthians, do you remember, where it talks about the women having their heads covered “because of the angels”? … whenever they are in church, “because of the angels”. Forget about the bit about the head covering. Women if you’ve got hair, you’re covered, you’re fine. Because it says in the text, that a woman’s hair is given to her instead of covering. Look it up. Back to the point. Because of the angels. Who are present, in church. I mean Paul writing to the Ephesians says that, “Through the church, the manifold wisdom of God is now made know to whom? To the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms. Did you know they come to church with you? That they are more anxious to hear the sermon than you are? They are seekers of truth. This is how Peter puts it, “Those who preach the good news to you by the Holy Spirit from heaven, things into which the angels long to look.” They are eager to learn more of this salvation, because you see, we see it far more clearly than they do. They have not sinned, therefore they have never been pardoned. And our experience of the grace of God, our experience of the Providence of God is different from their experience. And they look on with awe and wonder and interest at the proclamation of the gospel
