This 3rd Sunday in Advent we turn to Malachi, the final prophet of the Old Testament Scripture, to look at what he says about the second coming of Christ.  He is the Sun of Righteousness that will dawn.  That day will be a day of destruction for all evil and those who have not believed and trusted in the Lord for for forgiveness and salvation; that is, those who have not believed in the covenant made by God through Christ's blood sacrifice and resurrection....for by their reluctance to believe, they are not part of that covenant.  But, for those who believe, living in a world of injustice, danger, destruction, and evil brings about doubts and thoughts that Christ will not return.  People in this world - including Christians at times - wonder about Christ's return, and how God can permit injustice and evil to continue in this world.  Some dismiss the account of His return as fantastical, a myth or legend.  Malachi's message is DO NOT BE MISCONCEIVED - misconceptions can be fatal, when the truth is that HE WILL RETURN.  Listen in on God's promise for salvation to those who believe.
