and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.(1:13)
According to the Gospel of Mark, the last temptation scene shows the angels to help Jesus. We don't see specific details how the angels helped Jesus, because there is no explanation, but we could make it sure indirectly that Jesus needed some help. Like the aforementioned animals being stayed with Jesus, now the angels were with him to help.
The Bible often mentions the angels. With this topic, it might be insufficient to finish even in a single book. The Bible tells about the fallen angel too. It must be Satan. But in here do not ask if the angels exist or not. Because we always used to think only through that way, we are often likely to lose the basic things. The things that exist actually could be originally non-existent, and the things that you don’t get right now could not be non-existent actually. We must change the idea of “being” basically. If we think only the things we make sure now of its existence exist, we just stay in the first dimension of the world. There are plenty of things that exist in a totally different way of living. And also there are plenty of things as a process of being, not as an accomplished being. We cannot say that the things do not exist now but would exist in the future are not existent at all. Since it has been said if it does exist, let us ask ourselves again. Does the kingdom of God exist? Does it now? Or would it be in the future? Do you know very well that that kingdom of God exists without any relations with our lives now, or would be related with them? This kind of question should lead to the ultimatum. Does God exist? Is he a being to be created in the future? In which way does he exist? If you regard God as an object, you should make a conclusion that such a god never exists. That means that if we don’t consider a totally different new theory of existence, we could never realize the existence of God.
I am not able to explain what the angels attend Jesus means exactly what in order to help you to understand this passage. Even though I cannot give you precise explanation, I could accept the fact itself, because I believe in that special messenger who appears personally or privately to the person who has an eye to see. Perhaps just like the spirits and the angels in Shakespeare’s works, such power seems to show to the person who could see deep inside of the world. If there were no such angels, our lives would be so dry and barren. The lives without the angels must be only movement of chunk of protein automatically following a primitive instinct of survival. But luckily the human lives as a person or as a group as well as all the living creatures must be controlled by the supernatural power. That is the Holy Spirit and the angels are fairy-like expression for that power.
Did you ever get help from the angels? Did you ever experience an angel? The angels dancing in the breath of a baby, under the starlight, in the love between a man and a woman, in the winds and the waves, are being with us. If we open our eyes of heart, we could see the angels helping us.
Lord, please allow us an eye of the heart to see the angels. Amen.
