The Sun of Righteousness
Notes
Transcript
1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; And all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: And the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, That it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise With healing in his wings; And ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet In the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
Exalting Jesus in Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi A Light in the Darkness: 4:1-6
With the light from the sun comes life. Yet, the sun has become something to fear over the past few years. Now we know that the sun’s ultraviolet rays can cause wrinkles and skin cancer. The sun can be both a blessing and a curse—it all depends on the context. The Son of God, Jesus Christ, is the same way. For believers, Jesus is a source of comfort and assurance of one’s salvation. For those who are far from God, Jesus is the basis for judgment and condemnation.
This passage is talking about The Day of the Lord - or the end. It doesn’t give specific’s or much context, just a brief hitting of the highlights of what is going to happen -
