1 Peter 1:12
Unto whom it was revealed that, not unto themselves but unto us they did minister the things which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven, which things the angels desire to look upon.
Angels are curious about redemption, because they were not created like humans, who were created in the likeness and image of GOD. Angels do not understand salvation, since they are always in the presence of the LORD, neither do they understand free will, or the struggles of mankind between right and wrong. They are very curious about these things. The Gospel is preached to us, who live the mortal life, by the Holy Spirit's revelation. The angels listen and are amazed.
Mankind is created a little lower than the angels, Hebrews 2:6,7 and Psalm 8:4,5; in the fullness of time, mankind will be above the angels to judge them I Corinthians 6:3. JESUS took the seed of Abraham for his earth life, not the nature of the angels. JESUS became lower than the angels for a time (Philippians 2: 6-8). Then, after His death on the Cross, GOD raised Him up and highly exalted Him. Since He is the first fruit of them that slept, He raises all who await the promise, into life eternal with Him, above the angels (Hebrews 2: 16-18).
TO GOD BE THE GLORY, GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE
