Jesus is superior to angels.
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Hebrews 1:4,5,13.
Jesus is the Son. Angels are ministering spirits under the authority of the Son sent forth to aid those saved by faith in Him.
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Hebrews 1:14.
We must never underestimate the work of the angels.

Later, Peter was delivered from prison by an angel.
7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined
in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up,
saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. Acts
12:7.
An angel stood beside Paul one night and told him no one would be
lost of those with him in shipwreck.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. Acts 27:23-25.
An angel appeared to Cornelius and directed him to send for Peter
to explain the way of salvation. That was the birth of the Gentile

stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. John 5:4.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Psalm 91:11,12.
All night, all day, angels watching over me my Lord. -PJF-
