10. Take heed that ye despise —stumble. not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven —A difficult verse; but perhaps the following may be more than an illustration:—Among men, those who nurse and rear the royal children, however humble in themselves, are allowed free entrance with their charge, and a degree of familiarity which even the highest state ministers dare not assume. Probably our Lord means that, in virtue of their charge over His disciples ( Hebrews 1:13 ; John 1:51 ), the angels have errands to the throne, a welcome there, and a dear familiarity in dealing with "His Father which is in heaven," which on their own matters they could not assume. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
