Now
it was not for the angels that Christ died. Yet what was done for the
redemption of man through His death was in a sense done for the
angels, because the enmity that sin had put between men and the holy
angels is removed, and friendship is restored between them, and by
the redemption of man the gaps that the great apostasy left in the
angelic host are filled up.
