Higher than the angels

It seems like the burning debate of the time was "Who is higher in heaven, Jesus or the angels?"

This question seems about as relevant to me as circumcision/uncircumcision or eating meat offered to idols.

What is relevant is that Jesus became human, flesh and blood, in order to save us. He humbled himself, made himself much lower than the angels. This sums it up well, "He had to enter into every detail of human life. Then, when he came before God as high priest to get rid of the people's sins, he would have already experienced it all himself—all the pain, all the testing—and would be able to help where help was needed."

That makes sense and I thank God every day for Christ's sacrifice.
