Malachi 4, the final chapter of the Old Testament. We explore the concept of the 'Son of Righteousness' and how it foreshadows Christ's coming. The scripture paints a vivid picture of judgment day - a day that will burn like an oven for some, yet bring healing and joy to others. This stark contrast challenges us to examine our hearts and our relationship with God. Are we living in fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom? Or are we prideful and wicked, destined to be stubble? The message reminds us that our daily choices shape our eternal destiny. It calls us to be like 'stall-fed calves', nourished by God's word and growing in faith. As we reflect on this, let's consider: How are we preparing our hearts for Christ's return? Are we allowing ourselves to be refined by God's fire, or are we resisting His transformative work in our lives?
