Luke 1:68-79 / Malachi 3:1-4
Malachi’s Prophecy
The LORD is Coming!
HE will refine and purify (restoration)
This begins with the Advent, and completes in the age to come
4.
This is preceded by the sending of a messenger to prepare the way of the Lord
John’s Ministry
There were already many claimed Messiahs
There were already baptisms / ritual washings
John came specifically to declare JESUS as Lord and Messiah
Our Message
We are called to be God’s messengers today
We are called to spread the gospel of Jesus
We are not John, but His ministry of preparation parallels our calling today.
Church Family, if we believe that Jesus came in human flesh to be the savior of the world, then this season of advent ought to remind us that as assuredly as He came the first time, He is coming again, and that God has sent us to be His messengers, not wholly unlike John, preparing people to meet Him by spreading the gospel, and witnessing to it by loving God supremely and people genuinely.
