Malachi 4 – God’s Healing Power

 

Every person has needed healing at one time or another, whether it was a childhood scrape, or a deep emotional wound created by years of abuse. This imperfect world has caused many wounded hearts and soul- searching for healing. Some look for healing in a relationship, some in work, others in recreation. True healing, however, comes from God. One day, “the Son of righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings,” to restore all things and to bring healing to wounded hearts. Whatever we face, healing can be found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

 

“Son of righteousness” is a title for Jesus Christ (Ps. 84:11). He is to His people what the sun is to our galaxy: the center of all things and the source of life and light (John 1:4). The same Son that brings burning to the lost will bring blessing to the saved.

 

Malachi pointed back to the Law and commanded Israel to obey and be prepared for what God was going to do. Then he pointed ahead to the ministry of Elijah, which was fulfilled in a spiritual sense in John the Baptist. (Luke 1:16-17). It may be fulfilled literally if Elijah is one of the two witnesses described in Rev. 11:1-13.

 

The Old Testament ends with the awesome word curse. At the close of the New Testament, the promise is, “And there shall be no more curse” (Rev. 22:3). What made the difference? On the cross, Jesus Christ was made a curse for us (Gal. 3:1).
