Malachi 3:13-18; ; Malachi 4:1-6

God presents to us here the few faithful souls, humble and hidden, who were going to have the honour of welcoming His Son at His coming down to earth. They are His "jewels"; their names are enshrined in His "book of remembrance" and the Gospels bring some of them to our acquaintance: Joseph and Mary, Zacharias, Elizabeth, Simeon, Anna . . . Are you in the little band of those today who fear the Lord, who speak one to another about Him and who wait for His return?

Later on, during the great tribulation, there will be a remnant who fear the Name of the LORD (Malachi 4:2; Revelation 12:17). For them the "Sun of righteousness" will arise. The power of darkness will come to an end, the proud and the workers of wickedness will be consumed (Malachi 3:15; Malachi 4:1-2). It is with the word curse that the Old Testament comes to its end, in other words the completely disappointing history of the first Adam. Its miserable and irremediable condition, leading to ultimate and eternal woe, has been convincingly demonstrated. Are we personally persuaded as to this in our own conscience? Then, from the first page of the New Testament, we are brought to know the Name of the second Man, Jesus, in whom God has found His pleasure, in whom we too find salvation and blessing.
