The Book of Malachi -- Episode #95
The Book of MALACHI-- the last book of the Old Testament-- speaks about an important subject that resonates in today's church as well as the days of Malachi. The Issue of Worship. Malachi warns the Jews that God the Father was not happy. Their worship was not real... not genuine... in fact, it was worthless in His sight. God had gloriously & miraculously brought the Jews back from Persia and restored them to Judea. You would think they would see the Lord’s Hand in this MIRACLE and desire to WORSHIP Him and Give Thanks. You would think… Instead they were half-hearted and lackadaisical. (Probably not unlike much of the CHURCH today). Four Hundred years before the Coming of Messiah, Malachi confronts the Jews for the flawed SACRIFICES... their flawed GIVING... and their flawed RELATIONSHIPS. The book of MALACHI ends with a promise: there is One coming who will bridge the gap from the Old to the New Testament. A Coming Messiah!
