First, Jesus talking about the fact that the children, their angels see the face of God every day. So who's he referring to? These little children have angels? Yeah, that would be consistent if guardian angels actually existed. There's another case where Peter escaped from prison And everybody thought he was still locked up. And he goes and he knocks on a house to see his buddies.

And the servant hears his voice and says, hey, Peter's here. They say, he can't be here, he's in prison. Maybe it's his angel. Okay, well, is that a guardian angel they're talking about? Now, in Jewish culture in the first century, they believed in guardian angels. And some people will say, oh, well, that's not saying, according to the Bible, there are guardian angels.

That's just a nod to the Jewish culture of the day. I'm not so sure. I think when you look at these couple passages and also what is the purpose of angels but to minister to God's people, I think it's logical that guardian angels may exist. Others disagree. So it is a point of contention. What's the disagreement?

Right.

Right.

Right.

I think the disagreement comes where people think that the scriptural support for it is not strong enough. That if indeed we did have guardian angels, it would be more explicit, it'd be clearer in the Bible that we've got guardian angels. And there's no one verse that I can point to that clearly and unequivocally says,

oh yeah, everybody has a guardian angel or every follower of God or whoever has a guardian angel. But I think the passages I just mentioned, at least two passages are suggestive that Peter had his angel and these children had their angel. Who are you talking about there? If it's theirs, that suggests that there would be an angel who was assigned to them.

So I lean toward the idea that there is a guardian angel for folks.
