Angels Watching

[1 Pet. 1:12 ………………which things the angels desire to look into.]
Things which angels desire to look into: The unfolding of G-d's eternal plan is something that angels desire to look into. Angels observe our conduct (1 Corinthians 4:9), making it necessary that Believers conduct themselves properly (1 Corinthians 11:10).
Part of G-d's eternal purpose is to show His wisdom to the angelic beings through His work with the Body (Ephesians 3:10-11). G-d wants the angels to look in on what He does in the Body.
In illustration of this sentiment, we may make the following suggestions:
The angels, doubtless, desire to look into all the manifestations of the character of G-d, wherever those manifestations are made.
A. They are not omniscient, and cannot be supposed to comprehend at glance all his doings.
B. They doubtless employ their faculties, substantially as we do, in the investigation of truth; that is, from things known they seek to learn those that are even unknown.
C. It is not unreasonable to suppose that there are many things in relation to the Divine character and plans, which they do not yet understand. They know, undoubtedly, much more than we do; but there are plans and purposes of G-d which are yet made known to none of His creatures. No one can doubt that these plans and purposes must be the object of the attentive study of all holy created minds.
E. They doubtless feel a great interest in the welfare of other beings.
F. It is not unreasonable to suppose, that amidst all the other topics of wonder in this plan as seen by angels, this is not the least--that man by nature takes no interest in it; that in so stupendous a work, performed in his own world, he feels no concern; that he is unmoved when he is told that even G-d became incarnate, and appeared on the earth where he himself dwells; and that, busy and interested as he is in other things, often of a most trifling nature, he has no concern for that on which is suspended his own eternal happiness. If heaven was held in mute astonishment when the Son of G-d left the courts of glory to be poor, to be persecuted, to bleed, to die, not less must be the astonishment than when, from those lofty heights, the angelic hosts look down upon a race unconcerned amidst wonders such as those of the incarnation and the atonement!
