Not any angel
Colossians 1:21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight– 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
The Apostle Paul was speaking to the Colossians, a city who was divided deeply on who they worshiped. In chapter 1 he has been setting the stage for Christ’s preeminence; simply stated First & Foremost. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. Paul begins to speak here of the ministry of Christ’s reconciliation, or righting us to God through His death on the Cross. The Colossians believed in many angels, and they did not believe in Christ incarnate.
Do you believe that He was truly God, and truly man? 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. You must get this right, there is no middle ground here. Christ was not any angel, Christ was God in the flesh walking here as a man, suffered physical death, was raised from the dead to walk the earth again to many witnesses, and ascended to heaven to be with His Father until He returns again to reclaim those who believe. He did all of this for you, so that you can spend eternity in paradise and not Hell for not believing in Him.
When you are moved from darkness to light, you begin to see these things. You see Christ as the Savior of your soul, and the only Way unto heaven. Make your days now as a child of Light ones that count in service to Him. Do not let the temporary pleasures of this world drag your vision away from the One whom paid the highest price for you. He left paradise to come and die a death of pain words cannot describe with the sin of the world on His back, all so you could join Him in Heaven forever.
