Michael looked down through the one-way window. Knowing that the humans below
were incapable of seeing him, he glanced down in awe as a man may glance at a woman, trying
to take in every intricate detail of her figure. Lost not so much in the beauty of the humans, but in
the relationship they had with God.
Being the Archangel, messages were often relayed through Michael and he loved doing the assignments because it gave his existence purpose. Though Michael was never fully aware of the purpose of these messages, he was a messenger of God and simply said what God told him to say. He was fully pleased to be working for his Master.
Calling to Jesus, Michael said, “Master, I have heard that you will be traveling to the home of the humans, why? Is that not the job of us, your messengers?”
Jesus responded, “This message is not yours to spread.”
“Why not, Master?”
“It is far too precious of a message to be carried by an angel?”
“And what is the message? If you will please tell.”
“It is a message of redemption. For my children.”
A glimpse of confusion in Michael’s eyes as he submissively asked, “What is ‘children’?” “It has not been decided for you to understand, for the way of the humans is unknown to
you and it has been hidden.”
“My master, this redemption you talk of; what is it redemption from?”

“My master, this redemption you talk of; what is it redemption from?”
Jesus solemnly looked down to where Michael had been glancing a moment ago at the
humans, and replied, “from the way they have hated me for all these years.”
“Hated you master? As my brother did a long time ago?”
“Yes.”
“Are you going to redeem Lucifer as well as the humans Master?”
“No, for your brother was chosen as a dishonorable vessel, not an honorable one. But my
children, the humans, have been chosen to be vessels for my glory.”
The two paused as Michael took in everything that his Master was telling him. Out of the
pause, Michael sighed and said, “I can not claim to understand everything that you are saying Master, but I trust that what you are saying is good. I desire to understand how you relate to these humans you call ‘children,’ but if I am not meant to know, than I trust it is far better that I never know.”
Jesus replied, “Michael, allow your curiosity of my creation to drive you to a place of awe and wonder, for that is your purpose: to be in awe of not so much who the humans are to me, but of who I am to the humans.”
“Master, I desire to glorify you. But if I wonder and do not understand, how does that glorify you?”
“Because,” replied Christ, “it is not in understanding that you glorify me, but in wondering.”
“Hated you master? As my brother did a long time ago?”
“Yes.”
“Are you going to redeem Lucifer as well as the humans Master?”
“No, for your brother was chosen as a dishonorable vessel, not an honorable one. But my
