In today’s message from Malachi 2:10–16 and 3:16–18, we see how Judah’s broken marriages—marked by unfaithfulness, selfish ambition, and betrayal—had shattered their witness to the nations and ruptured their covenant with God. Instead of showcasing the beauty of life with Yahweh, their divorces and faithlessness displayed contempt for God’s name and defiled His purpose for marriage. Yet through the promise of the Book of Remembrance and the coming Redeemer, God holds out hope—not only to restore broken marriages, but to restore His covenant with His people through Christ. Jesus, the true Bridegroom, comes not to condemn but to refine and redeem: to melt anger, heal wounds, and birth new covenant love where human love has failed.
