Malachi 4:1,2 Kjv 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 arises with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Window Of Opportunity
For some time now I have been fascinated with this image you see here above; why draw an image depicting the coming or risen Lord Jesus, with wings and having the brightness of the sun? Mmm I first drew this image in 2007 for a video I was working on for an Easter program at church. The risen lord with healing in his wings, but even then still I didn't look close enough. The image above really speaks and makes reference to God who is also refereed to as The Lord; coming/making an entrance like the sun. The sun rises with brightness and brilliance of light but also to burn and to purify, hence the healing process that is born out of pain and loss.
As we celebrate this Easter season many may share the truth of Jesus Christ being the resurrected son of God, we celebrate that he is risen and if we will repent we will come to know the love of God, who rises like the sun to heal mankind from the penalty of sin. That message is being preached around the world today.
Now when I look at this image I'm reminded that Christ will return to judge this world in righteousness, his healing will be to those who turn from wickedness and trust in his love gift; the sacrifice he made at Calvary. The Lord Jesus Christ first came not to judge but to give his life a ransom for many, but when he returns it will be a purifying experience. For you see mercy triumphs over judgement. The prophet Malachi would have been then known as a messenger sent by God and a greater than Malachi did come. So then let us heed this great and glorious message.
Have A Transforming Eater Season.
