The Desire of Ages
The angels of God are ascending, bearing the prayers of the needy and
[143]
distressed to the Father above, and descending, bringing blessing and
hope, courage, help, and life, to the children of men.
The angels of God are ever passing from earth to heaven, and
from heaven to earth. The miracles of Christ for the afflicted and
suffering were wrought by the power of God through the ministration
of the angels. And it is through Christ, by the ministration of His
heavenly messengers, that every blessing comes from God to us. In
taking upon Himself humanity, our Saviour unites His interests with
those of the fallen sons and daughters of Adam, while through His
divinity He grasps the throne of God. And thus Christ is the medium
of communication of men with God, and of God with men.
