Angel?

From www.stanford.edu

"Consequently he is able to save for all time those who approach God through him. He always lives to intercede on their behalf.

"It was fitting that our High Priest be holy, undefiled, set apart from sinners and exalted above the heavens; a priest who does not first need to offer sacrifice for himself before offering for the sins of the people, as high priests do. He offered himself in sacrifice once and for all. And whereas the Law elected weak men as high priests, now, after the Law, the word of God with an oath appointed the Son, made perfect forever.

"The main point of what we are saying is that we have a high priest. He is seated at the right hand of the diving majesty in heaven, where he serves as minister of the true temple and sanctuary, set up not by any mortal but by the Lord.

"And high priest is appointed to offer to God gifts and sacrifices, and Jesus also has to offer some sacrifice. Had he remained on earth, he would not be a priest, since others offer the gifts according to the Law. In fact the ritual celebrated by those priests is only an imitation and shadow of the supernatural ritual. We know th e word of God to Moses with regard to the construction of the holy tent. He said: You are to make everything according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain.

"Now, however, Jesus enjoys a much higher ministry in being the mediator of a better covenant, founded on better promises."

HEBREWS 7:25-8:6

"Thank You, Father, for the people who have sacrificed
to make me a better person."
