Angels Christian Discipleship

Why did Angels minister to Jesus?

Pastor Keith

I often share questions I get from other people here in my blog, because I feel it’s a waste to not share them with others who may struggle with the same questions.

Question: What does it mean angels came to Jesus and ministered to him? (Matthew 4:11 & Mark 1:13)

Answer: Well, I suppose if you put it in context, Jesus is God and He created the Angels to serve Him and His every purpose. After 40 days in the desert, I would suppose that since He’s fully God and fully Man, that He may have needed some “tending to” or ministering. Or to put it simply, they FED HIM! Could you imagine how weak and hungry He must have been?


I try to tell people all the time, that MINISTER should be EQUAL to SERVANT. As a Minister or Pastor, it is our responsibility, indeed OUR JOB, to serve the sheep. Think about it. Pastor is basically Latin for Shepherd. What do Shepherds do? They continually find the best green grass for the sheep to feed on and protect the sheep from wolves and other potential disasters like keeping them away from cliffs and sharp rocks. No matter how you look at it, it’s the Shepherds job to SERVE the sheep.

Matthew 20:28 – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.

It’s only through reading and understanding God’s Word that we can truly understand what we should be expecting from our Ministers. Bright white teeth and a wind-tunnel tested hair-do are not requirements of a good Pastor…

I hope you found this helpful!
