This week on Beyond Today…

It was a warm summer day in 1974. My wife and I were heading home after a long day on the road visiting members of our church. As the miles ticked by the scenery faded into the background as we talked over the many conversations we’d had that day. Our way home crossed a large bridge spanning a deep river gorge. You know how it is on a long drive, cars pass, you don’t even think about them anymore, and everyone stays in their lane. But not today.

A large truck was pushing us towards the edge of the bridge. For a moment I pictured us falling to our deaths in the river below. And in a snap the car moved back onto the road and settled down. I managed to get off the bridge and safely pull over to the side. We were shaken but alive. The driver of the truck came running to check on us. I remember the words he said as he ran up. He said, “I thought I had pushed you over the bridge for sure.” My wife says that she felt the car swerve back to the left, back into the lane of the road. I know that I didn’t turn the wheel. It happened too quick. Both of us feel that on that day we had the hand of an angel literally move our car back into the driving lane and save us from certain death. And to this day we both believe that there was an extra bit of help helping us on that occasion. An angel helping us.

Now people have had a lot of experiences they say with angels and maybe some of you have your own stories. But today for a few minutes let’s discuss this topic of angels. It’s one of the most interesting parts of the word of God that I think that we could get into and yet it is also one of the most misunderstood by many people today.

What do you believe about angels? What do you know about angels?
