Most of us assume angels rank above humans in the great cosmic hierarchy. But angels, for all their mystery and power, lack two essential parts of what it means to be human: a physical body and the kind of covenant relationship with God that shapes our story. Kaitlyn takes up the simple question of whether angels are boys or girls and uses it to draw out the deeper differences between angels and humans and how these differences point us back to the astonishing claim at the heart of Scripture: that embodied, relational humanity holds a uniquely honored place in God’s creation.

I’m glad you mentioned the Zechariah passage because I was yelling it at my phone as you were saying all the angels in the Bible were referred to as men. I totally accept the nerd title. (I assume this passage is also why we always see angels depicted with giant white wings (like a stork)
