Do not despise one of these little ones
Manila Bulletin
|October 2, 2025

These took the form of winged beasts, with the head of bearded sphinx.
For believers, angels are “ministering spirits sent to serve, for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation” (Heb 1:14). They watch over the “little ones” and enjoy access to God.
Children and angels have something in common. Angels are not concerned with their status but only with fulfilling the will of God. Children in Jewish society have no legal status or rights; thus they are virtually invisible in that social setting.
