"But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture” -  (Malachi 4:2 NIV).

 

May peace flow like a river through the very depths of your being.

May joy rise within you like the morning sun.

God offers fresh mercies and real power for each new day. Lay hold of them.

May God's ever-present strength awaken your heart and sturdy your steps.

And may your faith grow until it swallows up your every fear.

God is with you at the break of day. He will not fail you.

Though darkness and despair and weakness threaten to overtake you, they will not, they cannot, because you belong to Jesus.

Take refuge in Him. He is your stronghold, your high tower, your deliverer, and your defender.

Believe that He's -- even now -- working on your behalf.

He heals, reveals, corrects, and redirects.

He's your perfect Shepherd and will lead you safely over every mountain, through every valley, and through every storm.

You will overcome because Jesus has overcome. Trust Him with your whole heart today.

Scripture is God's love letter to us. Every promise He makes, He keeps.

Everything He asks of us, He redeems. Yet still, life is hard.

Sometimes we drift from what's true and we let our guard down. We have a very real enemy who looks for such opportunities.

But we serve a very real God who draws us back to himself time and time again.

He's equipped us to prevail -- to prove that our enemy will not conquer us.

When this war is over, through Christ, we're the ones who'll still be standing.

THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS - Malachi: The Sun of Righteousness Will Rise - In the final Old Testament picture of Christ, we meet a Savior who does for us what we could never do for ourselves.

At Bethlehem a baby arrived from heaven “with healing in his wings.” But here is the good news of Christmas: Jesus came to save sinners. He came for you! He rises with healing in his wings. Jesus is all you need for everything you will face today - He heals the brokenhearted, and he sets the captive free - “The Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings” - When he comes, he brings the light of God’s righteousness with him.

The Sun of Righteousness

Malachi: The Sun of Righteousness Will Rise

.

In the final Old Testament picture of Christ, we meet a Savior who does for us what we could never do for ourselves. When he comes, he will “rise” as the sun rises in the sky. When he comes, he will banish the darkness, his light will fill the world, he brings the light of God’s righteousness with him. At Bethlehem a baby arrived from heaven “with healing in his wings.” But here is the good news of Christmas: Jesus came to save sinners. He came for you! He rises with healing in his wings. Jesus is all you need for everything you will face today - He heals the brokenhearted, and he sets the captive free

Ray Pritchard

 

“The Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings” - (Malachi 4:2).

 

The Old Testament ends with one final picture of our Lord.

When he comes, he will “rise” as the sun rises in the sky.

When he comes, he will banish the darkness.

When he comes, his light will fill the world.

But his coming does more than bring light into the darkness.

When he comes, he brings the light of God’s righteousness with him.

Here is good news for every weary sinner who feels the heavy weight of his own failures.

Are you a sinner? If you are honest, you must answer yes.

Have you fallen short of the glory of God? You must answer yes.

Do you despair of ever pleasing God? Think before you answer!

In one of her books, Ruth Graham, the late wife of Billy Graham, writes of a day when she felt overwhelmed by a sense of her own sinfulness:

“I am a weak, lazy, indifferent character; casual when I should be concerned, concerned when I should be carefree; self-indulgent, hypocritical, begging God to help me when I am hardly willing to lift a finger for myself; quarrelsome where I should be silent, silent where I should be outspoken; vacillating, easily distracted and sidetracked.”

Who among us could not say the same thing, multiplied many times over? Then she adds these words:

"What would I do," wrote Chalmers, "if God did not justify the ungodly?"

And "What would I do," said Thomas Boston of Scotland, "but for the imputed righteousness?"

There it is. All that I am not, He is; all that I am and should not be, He forgives and covers (from It’s My Turn, pp. 104-105).

In the final Old Testament picture of Christ, we meet a Savior who does for us what we could never do for ourselves.

At Bethlehem a baby arrived from heaven “with healing in his wings.”

Here is the doctrine of justification in one simple question: "What would I do if God did not justify the ungodly?"

Ask yourself that question. What would you do?

Where would you go? Where would you be if God were not willing to justify the ungodly?

But here is the good news of Christmas: Jesus came to save sinners.

Are you a sinner? He came for you! Is your heart heavy today? He rises with healing in his wings.

Jesus is all you need for everything you will face today.

He heals the brokenhearted, and he sets the captive free.

 Lord Jesus, we come to you just as we are. We come broken and ask you to heal us.

We come guilty and ask you to make us right with God.

We do not come because we are worthy, but because you are the Sun of Righteousness.

Heal us and help us and make us whole again. Amen.
