Malachi 3:13-4:6 - The Great and Terrible Day of the Lord

On Sunday morning we looked at the last section of the prophect Malachi together. Malachi told the people that they were sometimes seeing God like customers rather than like children. They were asking 'what's in it for me?' rather than seeking to honour God and understanding their special position. This had all kinds of implications, but it mattered not only for this life, but for eternity. In the end, all people will be divided by whether they have faith in Jesus or whether they do not. There is a Day coming when this will happen. There are only two outcomes in eternity: joy in being with God forever in his family, or horror from being under God's anger. We were reminded that there is time to turn, and that evangelism is urgent. God is faithful, and we look forward to a Day when all is put right. Pray this week for friends and family members who don't know Jesus.
