First off, I don't mean to say that I know everything about God, or even a fraction of what experts know. I'm only stating my opinion, which may or may not be different from those around me.
I believe that Jesus was 100% human and 100% God. Jesus before Christmas (which I refer to as 'Michael') was God, or, I guess you could say a third of God, but that gets complicated. Anyway, there is no way Michael could have been below angels, for He created angels.
Jesus, when He became human, had the ability to die (as evident in the Bible), while angels do not. So I guess you might be able to say that Jesus was below angels in one, tiny aspect (for death didn't hold onto Him for very long). However, now that He's no longer dead and can't die (not to say He's not human any more), He's totally above angels (because of His 100% Divinity) and yet able to be with us (because of his 100% humanity).
So, no, Jesus never was, isn't, and never will be lower than angles.

That's 200%.
Jesus is God and man mixed. When I said 'He's 100% human and 100% God', I meant that, well, it's hard to explain.
Here:
When you're cooking, you can use flour and sugar. Those two ingredients are whole ingredients. There is nothing 'un-floury' or 'un-sugary' about the flour and sugar. However, when you mix the two together, you have a new thing. It is made up of 100% flour and 100% sugar, and yet they can still exist together, mixed into one thing.
Jesus is God mixed in with man. He's all human, meaning there is nothing un-humany about Him, and all God meaning there's nothing un-Godly about Him.
