Luke 1:19 “And the angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings.”
We are not told much about the angels in the Bible. Though many have claimed to know more than what is revealed in Scripture, such assumptions are unwise. What we do know is that they are God’s representatives, and they reflect His glory.
It is for that reason that we understand Gabriel’s words. He was not trying to boast or be arrogant. He was simply making clear the significance of the Lord’s choice to send him to speak to Zacharias. It was an honor, and Zacharias should have recognized that.
Heavenly Father, thank You for communicating with us. We are so fortunate to have Your Word. May we always believe what we have received from Your mouth. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
