Something encouraging

I've been reading from First Peter recently, and there is a certain verse that I keep coming back to.

1 Pet 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven-- things into which angels long to look.(NAS, emphasis added)

In the section of scripture where this verse is found, Peter is talking about our salvation in Jesus Christ. The "them" mentioned at the beginning of the verse is referring to the prophets who foretold the coming of the Messiah. What I find so incredible about this verse is the part that I italicised. The gospel extended to us is so great a gift that the angels long to understand, to be a part of it. We as Believers are extended a privilege that angels can only wish they had. That's encouraging.
