Angels are inferior to Christ but serve as God's messengers

Hebrews 1:4-7 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father’? Or again, ‘I will be his Father, and he will be my Son’? And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, ‘Let all God’s angels worship him.’ In speaking of the angels he says, ‘He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.’ 

Christ's name is superior to that of the angles as although they are referred to as the sons of God at times, he alone is the Son of God. This is fitting because although he was made a little lower than the angels in the incarnation he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. The very fact that all the angels worshipped the incarnate Son shows that he is God. (If all were worshipping the Son then none were doing anything else). Angels, in distinction from the Son of God, are like wind and thunder. They are messengers bringing God's message to earth. Like the wind they are invisible and like the lightning they are glorious. They are swift messengers from heaven.
