The Lowest Believer More Dignified Than the Greatest Angel

"(Christ) is the head of the angels as well as the saints, but in different respects. To angels he is a head of dominion and government, but to saints he is both a head of dominion and of a vital influence - they are his chief and most honorable subjects, but not his mystical members; they are as the barons and nobles in his kingdom, but the saints as the dear spouse and wife of his bosom. This dignifies the believer above the greatest angel."
